Hillary Clinton, when asked if the US should institute a no-fly zone over Liby, said "We are supporting all efforts." Well now, should the US be "supporting all efforts", or should the US be leading all efforts? Lets look at the facts. (1.) Should the US support Libyan dictator Qaddafi? NO. (2.) Should the US just wait and see what happens while the people of Libya are dying and asking for help? NO. ( 3.) Should the US wait for Al Qaeda to take over the country? NO. (4.) The Libyan government planes are bombing the oil fields as I write this. Should the US allow this wanton destruction of oil assets that affects all nations of the world and do nothing? NO.
So what should the US do? First act like a leader, not a follower nation. Second, do what ever is necessary to help the Libyan people fight their oppressor. If this means a no -fly zone, we should do it. If it means getting weapons to the Libyan freedom fighters, lets do it. If it means humanitarian and medical supplies, lets do it.
Lets do something other than just talk!
