In the CNN poll, 56 percent of those surveyed said they supported the idea of the U.S. and other countries establishing a no-fly zone, while 40 percent were opposed, with 4 percent undecided. Fifty-three percent back sending arms and supplies to the rebels while 43 percent are opposed, with 4 percent undecided.Why do we keep sticking our nose in any other Countries Battles the people don't want us more important the American People don't want us there either. Especially when we aren't not successful which cost thousands of civilians life's. I don't want any other Countries sticking their nose in our business! Let the Arabia, Russia and other UN members take care of their own problems we have enough on our plate with Iraq, Afghanistan and Korea bring our troops home and save our economy from the cost of war. We should be spending this money on what the Japanese people need! That's what America is all about, not war.

It requires us to essentially invade this country, regardless of how one wants to disguise this factor. Do we really need this additional hassle? Is Libya that critcal for us to risk American miliary lives and time.? Geez, we're in far enough now, let's not jump into another fire at the moment.

The Arab world is sitting on top of indescribable wealth, abundant air and sea power, but where in heck is the intestinal fortitude? The Muslim Arabs would be delighted if they could cojole the USA and Western Allies into plunging headlong into the Libyan mess so that we could get blamed by all the other Arab Muslims in the world for the body bags and destruction. Sec. of State Clinton and President Obama aren't falling for it without a lot more supportive moral muscle than is now evident. Let's stay the course. The Libyan rebelsl do need support; no doubt about that---so again, where are their Arab brothers?

If the Arabs want a No Fly Zone in Libya they should create it.

WE SHOULD NOT BE IN NATO. We the people should not support the WTO as it is they who are the ones that control the USA. Without the USA,there would be no UN. If the people that are selling the oil can not provide protection - don't do business with them. Stop being stupid and bring all Embassies home. We are not interested in "your" peace keeping missions !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get out of UN now.

But it is too late for that, Gadhafi will have and probably already has defeated the rebels and we have only on no-action President to than for that. How many remember Biden's prediction before the election? It has come true!!!!!
March 14 2011 at 3:41 PM Report abuse Permalink +3 rate up rate down ReplyWhile I Back an Arab enforced no fly zone as bernardv2 does, we all know its to late for that.With president Obama sitting on his hands for all this time,and waiting 8 days before even mentioning Libya ,Gadhafi has the upper hand and is probably going to stay in power.To bad the president does not act quickly.Sometimes a person needs to use their gut instead of their head to act.Obama needs to think a lot and is sure is not working out for him orthis country.
