We stopped a genocide.

It is EXACTLY what most of us screamed about with regards to Rwanda a decade ago.

"Why didn't we, the world's strongest military, do something to stop the genocide!?"


Hundreds of thousands of people were going to be slaughtered by the Libyan regime.

This is one of the few cases where military action *IS* justified.


If you screamed about American inaction with respect to the genocide in Rwanda, then you're a hypocrite if you are upset about NATO taking action in Libya.



Saint Dennis Kucinich is just such a hypocrite.
