I support the US and NATO being in Libya. I am not naive enough to believe that part of the interests of the US and others does not include oil. However, because we do have a monetary interest in being there, does that mean we should ignore the calls from civilian people for help? BTW, does anyone remember Lockerby?
I too ask the same questions as many of you do that oppose any US involvement in Libya (part of Africa) or the Mideast. I do realize that the US needs to work on domestic problems as well. When the young people of Iran and China, (Remember Tenemin Square?) asked for intervention, why was there none offered by the US or the West for that matter?
I too share a concern about the US arming the world. But I also have the same concern about Russia, China and unscrupulous greed mongers across the planet plying their trade.
