Some dude was testifying as to why Lybia and not other places, "Well,... we have to keep in mind strategic blah blah blah" In other words, we can't piss off Gadaffi any more than we already had. We have nothing to lose but omg, dare not touch Syria cause we may lose one of our privileges there, fuck the people.

It's not that we care about pissing off Gadaffi, it's that we won't piss of anyone else by fucking with him.

We have privileges in Syria?

[dwer.livejournal.com]

we have the "privilege" to kidnap people and fly them there, so that Syrians can torture them and the US Gov can continue to say "we don't torture".

[lima-pcp.livejournal.com]

That's not a privilege.

[dwer.livejournal.com]

Depends on your point of view, I suppose.

[lima-pcp.livejournal.com]

It's an arrangement. Or an agreement. The US also sent prisoners to Libya. Didn't stop them from dropping bombs when they decided they wanted to.

[dwer.livejournal.com]

Because the US doesn't care if it can't use Libya's facilities any more, I suppose.

[lima-pcp.livejournal.com]

Or because whomever takes over in Gaddafi's place will be happy to do the same. Or, if Gaddafi stays, cooperation in that regard may be a quid pro quo in return for his throne. It's not like beating people with a rubber hose for info is any big deal to any Arab regime.

Are we for or against going against a 3rd war I can't tell sometimes.

[dwer.livejournal.com]

Depends on who the "we" is. My "we" is against it.

[rimpala.livejournal.com]

we as in the cartoon, some of these cartoons on the Libya conflict have mixed messages I think

[dwer.livejournal.com]

I dunno if this one is mixed. The "we" in this case are the people who will profit the most by securing more oil, I think...

I'm against -us- going to war in Libya. I'm for -the Libyans- going to war in Libya.

South Africa is next. Sorry, we rolled it.

[cursethedark.livejournal.com]

Haha! I've got three oil rigs there! Pay up!

[enders-shadow.livejournal.com]

Next time try a d20

[artkouros.livejournal.com]

Leaving it to chance would be the moral high road, I think.

I like to pull from the Community Chest whenever possible.
