Total agreement in a politically mixed group.

[Stinky The Clown]

Some of us in the neighborhood are liberals, mostly Democrats. Some of us are conservative, some pretty much all the way to teabagger territory.

Last night, at a neighborhood get together, there was total, 100% agreement that the US ought not be invading Libya or any other country. No qualifiers. No equivocations.

1. Give it a week of US cable news and talk radio influence. People haven't been told what to think yet

2. So what? Something like 90% of the country favored the Iraq invasion prior to the IWR vote.

It seems to me that the informed minority always has all the information. Conservatives and Senate Republicans are all against this move, which should tell you something about who they want to remain in power over there.

5. So what??

You're kidding right?

Its okay if a Democrat bombs the fuck out of another country?

[joshcryer]

6. I think what was said was that informed opinions tend to be correct.

I would agree with them.

3. There is no compelling national interest in Libya

Oh, I forgot the oil.

15. If mass slaughter can be prevented, that's enough

...as Gadhafi's war machines were poised at the edge of Benghazi, and he promised "no mercy, no pity" on the 600,000 inhabitants. I'm ok with it not being in our national interest, if we can nevertheless contribute something to prevent a slaughter.

4. wish i had been there

hard to believe without seeing it, so much apathy all in one little place

[Stinky The Clown]

8. Pardon me?

Opposing bombing the fuck out of another country is now classified as "apathy"?

I get it.

Its Okay If A Democrat Does It?

7. Cool. When the US decides to "invade" Libya, this post will be even more relevant. n/t

9. In other words: "Bombing Gud When Dem Do It"

Stop it. You're killing me.

[Azathoth]

10. Bombing gud when save thousands of civilian lives. No-fly zone and invasion not same.

Hard Left marginalize itself even further.

11. Darfur

Kind of a double standard, no?

[Azathoth]

12. Darfur is/was horrendous. Like Rwanda. And many others.

Failure to act correctly in past scenarios precludes us from acting correctly in all future scenarios?

[Stinky The Clown]

13. How about North Korea?

Just askin'

[Azathoth]

16. As I recall, we tried in Korea n/t
