| Next stop for Gaddafi is The Hague or a nice wooden box. I just hope we don't find him hiding in a tiny space below ground like Saddam. |

| Here is my issue with the US getting involved. We have been in several conflicts with UN and coalition forces. Somewhere down the line, the battle drags out, and we "The US" are always the last ones to leave while the rest bail. If these coalition forces are about Democracy, then they need to stay in the fight along side the US. |

It's not about democracy. That's the bull reason that Bush gave to try and justify invading Iraq, that the Iraqi people "wanted democracy." While it may very well be true that the Libyan people want democracy, this is about preventing genocide. It's about preventing a tyrannical dictator from slaughtering thousands and thousands of his own people. The Iraqi people didn't ask for us to invade their country. The Libyan people begged the world for help, and we answered. |

Canada and others are still in Afghanistan. Nobody wanted to go into Iraq. |

This. Comparing the Iraqi war and the situation in Libya is like comparing apples and oranges. |

If I remember at one point in time, Iraq did kill its own people with chemical weapons. |

Dude. This is Iraq. Operation Desert Storm 1991. All I'm saying is, everyone involved needs to see this through until the end. So we don't have to come back ten years from now and start all over. Personally Ghadafi's ass should've been dead in the eighties when we had the chance. But we didn't. Same deal with Hussein.
And yes, there's always a bottom line to everything. |

Hussein invaded another country and was using chemical weapons. A bit of a difference there. |
