Support it in principle. I support pretty much any action against a totalitarian regime that is brutalizing its own people, assuming there is a UN mandate, and think the UN should do a far better job of doing the job it was created to do. Of course, I'm enough of a realist to know this is a path that is extremely difficult.

So, $196M spent on shooting cruise missiles will come from WHERE, exactly?

Everything has a cost. I support some of the things the Government spends money on, but others I don't.
I find it hard to look in the face of people who are being murdered and are asking "why isn't the world doing anything" and respond "Sorry, we're a bit hard up this month".
It's either a matter of principle or it's not. Economic pressures may cause a person to change their priorities, but not their principles.

Meanwhile, 25% of America's children are below the poverty level, but that's OK because "we're a bit hard up this month"? Really? Libyan civilians are worht more than American citizens?

So you admit to being propagandized by the humanitarian angle. If only it was that simple.
Opinion will likely shift in the coming weeks. The Arab League just announced they are withdrawing their support for this Intervention. They were told it was going to be a "No Fly Zone" but it has become clear that they're bombing hundreds of ground targets. Apparently they're a bit peeved over this. This looks nothing like a "No Fly Zone." They're bombing anything that moves. It's very disturbing.
Are they? That doesn't surprise me. I didnt think they'd actually give the support they promised anyway. Part of me was thinking they just wanted us in another conflict.
I am for getting rid of that Libyan shitstain Qaddafi, who had a hand in murdering well over 200 innocent Americans.
And helping the Libyans determine their own destiny and getting rid of a 42 year old regime.
After much thought on this, I have to say I am against. Our pacifist-in-chief is an inept follower and can't be trusted with making the hard decisions. We either go in to win, or we stay home. I hope the future proves me wrong and Qaddafi is taken out. Meanwhile may the Obama's continue to enjoy their vacation while the level of anxiety at home increases. May his arrogance bury him in the end.
I am against it because we can't afford another war, and we don't know what the end game is. Unless we are going to commit ourselves 100% and be in to win it, we have no business fucking around in Libya. Lets focus on Iraq and Afghanistan, last time I checked American troops were still fighting in those places.
What's so "Humanitarian" about bombing & killing people anyway? "Humanitarian" claims on this really are absurd.

It's not a fucking war. Can we not just stick to facts instead of hysterical hyperbole?

Nope. Just trying to figure out how any US citizen can justify spending $196M to help Libyan citizens, all the while trying to remove any help for our own.
Allowing people to be slaughtered proves nothing
