[QUOTE="soberups, post: 823917, member: 14668"] My life? Probably not. A few hundred cruise missiles? Certainly! I dont claim to have all of the answers as far as Libya is concerned, and it may very well be that we lack the military capability of removing Ghaddafi from power. But we [I]did[/I] have the military capability of destroying the armored column that was about to start slaughtering civilians, and we [I]do[/I] have the military capability of denying Ghaddafi the use of air power to attack civilians. If we cannot end a civil war, at least we can make it into something resembling a fair fight. We had no [I]good[/I] choices as far as Libya was concerned, I think we picked the "least worst" option. Sitting idly by and watching a bunch of civilians get slaughtered would not have been acceptable. [/QUOTE]
