1. I think the poll requires further differentiation.
I did not oppose the no fly zone in Iraq, I opposed the invasion, and I support the no fly zone in Libya. I do not foresee supporting an invasion of Libya.

There are different kinds of military action. One is not the other. These are not yes/no propositions to me.

5. I doubt I'll be counted in the Obama fan club.
But I don't see calling for him to resign over not using our Security Council veto to stop a no fly zone.

I see it as an affirmative support of Qaddafi or opposition to the rebellion. Simply voting no or abstaining wouldn't have change the outcome. We'd have to veto and even if you land there I don't see how it isn't a circumstantial judgment call.

I honestly don't see casting a veto here and surely if one did it wouldn't be casual or automatic.

7. I wanted to keep it simple
but for the purposes of this poll, just the bombing we've done so far.

6. It's time for another 60's.
But this time with some follow thru.

No transition into the yuppy corpo-cubicle world this go around.

Maybe we would get some good music back too.
