A real discussion is needed, simply to get some of the liberal left back to earth. Well meaning people are being hoodwinked into taking the wrong side. The Libya "sideshow" has been used to end any effective antiwar movement to stop Afghanistan, a very real slaughter. This isn't by accident. There are certainly ways to defend Gaddafi, especially when worse is happening in Syria and Bahrain, Israel and Gaza also and nothing is being done.

Four hundred (400) United States Marines are with a carrier battle group and are immediately available to invade Libya, defeat conventional and irregular Libyan forces, install and interim government, ensure that essential services to the Libyan civilian infrastructure is repaired and reopened, provide assistance to thousands of refugees, reopen diplomatic missions and embassies, restore petroleum production and satisfy the wants, demands, desires, criticism(s) and ranting of local, national and international media. Note a bad days work huh. Jarheads are good – knew all along they were as good as the country expects of them.

As we watch the Libyans in their desperate and bloody fight for freedom, the world watches America. Our President and our country are being judged by the opinion of people and nations round the globe. Let us not fail to respond with the honor of freedom loving men and women. Now is the time for President Obama to show bold leadership in the little people's quest for democracy.
