[QUOTE="soberups, post: 818335, member: 14668"] A peaceful, negotiated solution is far more likely between two adversaries who are [I]evenly matched[/I]. When one side has tanks and planes and the other side doesnt, its a massacre. In the case of China and Hungary, intervention on our part was simply impossible. In this case, intervention[I] is[/I] possible. Furthermore, intervention is being [I]requested [/I]by both the UN and the Arab League. I agree that the US needs to stop being the worlds policeman and we need to quit meddling in the affairs of other nations. But if our assstance is being requested by the relevant world bodies, we ought to at least attempt to provide it. And as a practical matter, it is relatively easy for us to take out Libya's air defenses with missile and drone attacks, at little risk to the lives of US personnel. [/QUOTE]
