3.) Iraq invasion was based on the US administration fabricating a link between al-Queda (sp) and Saddam, plus the fact Iraq had WMDs and was about to attack the US any minute. Both turned out to be completely false. Libya is because the Libyan military is murdering its own citizens THIS VERY MINUTE.
4.) For now at least, it's air strikes only, and a ground invasion hasn't happened (at least yet).
Not saying I agree with NATO going into Libya, but trying to compare that to Iraq is just fucking stupid.

So why does the UN Protect one set of people and not the other?
Why did the UN act so fast to allow strikes, when the UN passed 16 resolutions on Iraq in 2002 before the war in 2003.
Don't you think the UN because of past events (Iraq), have learned they waited to long.
There were more than 2 things that lead to the War. Sadam had over a year to hide WMD's. Let's say for you, there was not any, was it the presidents fault he had bad intel, from MANY sources and countries?
My personal belief from what I know, and what I seen, he destroyed and hid those fuckers.
I guess we have several other countries to bomb if we are protecting the people against the Gov.
I have learned that whatever the current admin is in office at the time, will do what they want.
What I have a problem with is the current persident rode his magic carpet of stopping the wars. Yes, hind sight the nice political words ALL politicans use can be seen different ways. go do a poll of the young Americans that voted for Obama, and what they believed Obama was going to do was end the wars that were costing so much money and Illegal, LOL Irony
