#3 ordinary Libyans proving everyone wrong; behaving with a bravery and clarity of purpose almost incomprehensible to us in Europe -- braving machine gun fire, murderous thugs and indiscriminate bombing from a crazed regime threatening to fight them down to the last bullet.
No one has been proved 'wrong.' If the Euros find Libyan bravery and clarity of purpose 'incomprehensible' that is due to the lack of the same qualities in Europe, drained of them after 2 world wars and dissolution of humane values in a sea of rhetoric. Libyans attacking machine guns with bricks and forming voluntary human shields around bulldozer operators trying to punch holes in Qadaffy strongpoints are mujahideen. Who publishes this foolish stuff?

#5 And yet Barack Hussein Obama will not have a historic moment w/regard to the history being made in North Africa. Hell, he can't even bring himself to support Israel, a staunch ally for sixty years--the only free country in the Mideast. I guess he spent too much time getting an islamic education as a kid and 20 years "present" listening to hatred in Rev. Wright's anti-semitic church in Chicago.

#6 John QC - I fear the poor, bufuddled Zero is flabbergasted that these peons didn't wait for his call to rise up. He must be terribly confused!

#7 I believe Libyans are going to need help to pull this off. O is out to lunch. China couldn't care less. Russia doesn't seem to have any interest from what I have heard. So we have a void to fill. Perfect opportunity for bad guys to offer support.
I say a void because look how many people from other countries work everything for them. This will run its course with many idealistic Libyans purged. Then if Qadaffy is removed the head of a new serpent will emerge"in the Arab world the choice is between dictatorship or rule by krazed killers". This will be done the Arab way.

#8 Because Obama believes the claptrap about America being to blame for the woes of the world, as president, he stays silent. He presents no real American policy, thinking that by making no decision at all, he will be absolved of blame, and begin a new chapter of world history where for once Americans are the good guys.

Unfortunately, he must never have learned a very basic concept--that refusing to decide is in itself a decision. His delusion that America is something to be ashamed of will have toxic consequences long into the future.

#9 China couldn't care less. Russia doesn't seem to have any interest from what I have heard.

China got its money from the missile development contracts. It'll wait to see who the new rulers are before going in again.

As far as Russia is concerned, it'll be competing against China in kissing up to whoever takes over.
