Reply #12: We do not have a reason to invade, and the President has not attempted to convince us... [View All]

A U.N. resolution asking all member nations to yield military assistance to the Libyan people, as was done with United Nations Security Council Resolution 82 of 27 June 1950 that precipitated our entrance into the Korean War, would give the U.S. a reason to go to war, but I doubt something like that will happen. Like in the Civil war in Rwanda, I suspect we will use economic sanctions and otherwise let the government's mercenary goons murder as many of its citizens as they want. What, after all, is 100, or 1000, or a million dead Libyans.

For the record, I too oppose a war with Libya. But I don't see it as even a remote possibility that one would happen.
