Really, Obama?

We put the president of Egypt in power, supporting his way to a dictatorship. We bought the Taliban their weapons, then were shocked when they went power crazy.
In the early days of our country, we fought an important civil war, that changed the course of our country and it's politics. We asked for help, and didn't get any. That was for the better. We needed that war, and we still reference it when talking about the strength of our country. Obama has mentioned it in his speeches. So why, President Obama, are you trying to get involved in Libya's civil war? They need that war.
They need that war. That war is the rebellion of the people, a much needed rebellion to change the course of their fucked politics. This is the people getting what they need. We did that, and we needed that. It sucks that the last resort they could think of was war. What sucks more is that Obama doesn't leave them alone. When we invaded Iraq, we had to stick around for a long time to help them rebuild their government, and retrain their military. The country and the people were a mess, and we felt obligated to help, which was only right. But after what happened in Egypt, do we have the arrogance to believe we can rebuild another country's government?
President Obama, I get that you want to help, you want to make the world better. Lets focus on America. Namely, Wallstreet. Rebuilding the economy in the US is going to help. I hate it, but the modern world runs on money. That's what you need to focus on. Not invading yet another country that is not technically our concern.

  2. Did Bush just want to "help people"? I mean after all the iraq operation was so stategically named "Operation Freedom"? Maybe bombing Libya is helping the US economy? If you want to talk about helping people let's start by helping out the people of Somalia, whom are under continued genocide, or how about installing a no fly zone over Gaza, or the inocent buddist monks in tibet? Why?? Because either they have nothing we want, or we already control what we're after. 5 years ago Goerge bush was a war mongorer, but now, Obama is out for the good of humanity? I just don't see the difference? Even presidents have orders they take from higher ups....ie.... Wallstreet. Love AK

  3. Well, My opinion in this is completely different.
    America had no real reason from the first place to invade Iraq to stick around as if they actually wanted to help rebuild their country ( by that I mean the American government and officials ) , Libyans could only use the help of other Arab countries like it ( military help , convoys/ships of food and medicine etc.. ).
    I doubt that Obama actually wants to help or make the world better and finally , indeed he should just focus on America and keep him self out of other countries' issues.
