I believe in Democracy.
When you do it means you believe that it is the finest form of government and can transform a society to its best behavior.
What form of government would you perfer they have?
Fascism, socialism, dictatorship?
Probably like most Democrats, or republicans, for that matter, you believe in Democracy when your guy wins. Somehow, I really doubt you looked at the 2010 midterms as "Wow, what a great day for Democracy". Don't picture you doing that based on what I've seen of your postings here.
I frankly don't care what kind of government the backwards, superstitious savage tribes of Libya have for themselves. They'll still be the same backward savages they were before Qadaffi left. We should stay out of it. We should stay out of the entire middle east. All we've managed to do is insert ourselves in their affairs, and who do you think they are going to blame when Allah doesnt' bless them with instant prosperity?
Many of these rebels are linked to Al Qaeda. I have a hard time wanting to get on any side of a fight when I think both sides are equally bad.
The only thing this conflict did is expose that NATO is a paper tiger. If it could barely impose its will on Libya (a country with less people in it than Metropolitian Chicago), an alliance with five of the richest countries on Earth, how could it really mount a defense against a real threat- Russia, China or Iran?
