Libya

The Obama foreign policy is simply the Bill Clinton foreign policy, isn't it. Because Libya sure isn't the War on Terror now is it? No, this is Somalia 1993 and Bosnia 1995 redux. See injustice being perpetrated in certain countries and take some action under a UN or NATO umbrella. It sounds good, but how does this advance America's interests? Criticize the War on Iraq all you want, but Saddam Hussein had invaded a sovereign nation and had used poison gas on his citizens. In the context of 2002-2003, when we were demanding full compliance of any potential enemy, we needed to hold Saddam fully accountable for his refusal to cooperate with world leaders.
