#1 "Zbigniew Brzezinski served as US National Security Adviser to President Jimmy Carter from 1977 to 1981 and has also advised Barack Obama on foreign policy."

And look where that's gotten us.

In other words, another liberal everything-should-be-all-unicorns loser.

I stopped reading right there.

#2 It seems to me that the crisis involving Libya is a crisis that provides the West with a rather unique opportunity for united action and I would have been more pleased if Germany had chosen to be in some fashion part of it, even if not necessarily a direct military participant.

Can't argue with that.

I think what is involved here is a missed opportunity to underline, to affirm something that is desirable and important, namely the ability of the West to act in common.

Can't argue with that either.

The more united the West is, the shorter the conflict will be. Because obviously Gadhafi and his associates want to prolong the conflict, create a stalemate and in some fashion remain in power. So it's not irrelevant to the outcome how united the West is and how determined it is.

Dang, three in a row.

I think Mr. Brzezinski found an acorn.

#5 ...because getting the Germans all worked up about war is such a good idea [after a couple hundred years of militarism culminating in two world wars in the 20th Century]. /sarc off

Maybe we like our Germans cuddly and peaceful even if it creates complications.

#6 Perhaps Germany doesn't want to fight for the French right to Libyan oil contracts.

#7 Snark aside, one thing about the Germans. They learned a different lesson from WW2 than the rest of the us. We learned that if you sit out too long the war will be really bad when you finally have to get involved. The Germans learned War is bad.

#8 The Germans lost something like 2.5 million soldiers in WWII so that will sober you up about the glories of fighting for der vaterland.

ZB is useless. His grand ideas about the Middle East gave us Achmeninutjob and the mad mullahs in Iran.

He's a moron. He doesn't know a Shia from a Druze and he could care less. Terribly misguided and ill informed...and he's ADVISING Obama?

Doesn't Obama read these guys resumes before he hires them? Maybe he does, and that is really scary.

I think it would be fun to get the German Army really pissed off about something and send them to Syria.
