[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 813372, member: 22662"] Maybe our consciences have nothing to do with it. I'm not one to believe the US is morally superior to all the other nations of the world. There's simply too much evidence to the contrary. When I posted I thought some millitry intervention might be acceptable, it was not on a moral premise, but a strategic and tactical premise. Finally a dictator going down whom we did not openly support! Possibly a chance to score points with a populace that we hadn't been oppressing through a dictator. Had things played out differently with the millitary more backing Quadafi, might have been a plausible tactic. Nothing about morality though. Not about "liberating" the people from a "tyrant".
