Not so fast. The empire still has resources to stea.....I mean, Evil to destroy.I think it's fair to say that we have been bombing nations uninterrupted for the last 70yrs. We have continued this round-the-clock bombing campaign straight through several Republican and Democrat Presidents,going back to WWII. Isn't it time to start considering putting an end to this seemingly never-ending bombing campaign? Is aggressive Foreign Interventionism/Globalism really working for us? Personally i feel this foreign policy has done far more harm than good. I really do feel that the "World's Referee" and "World's Policeman" time should now pass. Enough is enough. That's just my opinion though. I would be very interested in hearing what others think about this issue. Thanks.
You are talking about an end to empire, and I'm all for it.
The USA should not be policing the world, or paying or providing anyone else's defense but our own.
Yea it's to the point now where you just assume we're always going to be bombing someone. Doesn't seem like it will ever end. Doesn't matter whether there's a Republican or a Democrat in power. The bombing just goes on and on. 70yrs sure is an incredibly long bombing campaign. We shouldn't aspire to be an Empire. Our Founding Fathers didn't want that.
I think Americans would actually be shocked if we ever had a President who didn't bomb someone. That's all most Americans have ever known. Sad but true.

Since WWII, the one military action that I think actually did what it was supposed to accomplish is the bombing raid on Lybia after Gadhafi blew up a bar with a bunch of Americans and allies in it. Reagan warned Gadhafi that the next terrorist attack would result in swift and certain retaliation, and he made good on it. And we didn't hear from Gadhafi for decades after that.
A close second would be Desert Storm intended to kick Saddam out of Kuwait and prevent invasion of Saudi Arabia and that also was accomplished relatively quickly, decisively, and effectively. But it did involve ground troops so that was somewhat different than a bombing raid.
Now I think Gadhafi and international thugs like him don't take any warnings or resolutions all that seriously. They know Europe is pretty impotent when it comes to enforcing world peace and American leaders will pull their punches and stop short of really accomplishing all that much. And the more savage world powers (China, Russia et al) are going to give more passive support to the terrorists than to anybody else. They are no threat at all to international terrorists, genocide, or other uglies that humankind can inflict on humankind.

Ghaddafi came to the table, renounced terrorism, gave up his WMD's, helped us track Al Qaeda in his country, gave reparations to the victims from Lockerbie and re-established diplomatic relations with the West. What happened to make us throw him under the bus for a bunch of Al Qaeda allied rebels?

Imagine an America where we weren't bombing anyone? Most Americans can't even imagine that anymore. Endless bombing is all most have ever known.

Very very good question. I am going to revive my "WWIII?" thread and perhaps we can explore that there. If you have no objection, I am going to move your question over there.

I'm sure Oil is playing a big part in this Libyan War. The Western Europeans depend on Libya for a lot of their Oil. That's why they were the most gung-ho about bombing them. "Protecting the Civilians/He was going to destabilize the Region" is absolute BULLSHIT. Period,end of story.

I have grown up in war Lib, I remember the Gulf War, the Bosnia bombings, than I joined the Military in 2000 and we had the Afghanistan and Iraq conflicts. I don't remember a time when we weren't at war.
