What's your reaction to U.S. involvement in Libya?
March 30, 2011
Austin Harris ( in Tonganoxie) says...
“I have to agree with the President’s decision to help the Libyan people. As a country that pledges to help people in need, it would be hard for me to watch us not help. The only thing that I worry about is it going downhill and causing another long war. The President’s speech on Monday eased my worries, though.”
Mike McClellan ( in Tonganoxie) says...
“For this action to work, it must be limited in scope, clearly defined and led by the principle nations for whom Libya is of immediate national interest (Europeans and Arabs). As Secretary of Defense Gates said Sunday on “Meet the Press,” “While Libya is not vital to U.S. interests, the region that Libya inhabits is important to U.S. interests." The bigger and more complex question is, "How will we react when countries closer to U.S. interests in the oil fields of the Middle East behave in a fashion offensive to the world community?"
Lisa Christensen ( in Tonganoxie) says...
“I was glad to see us go in. I just hope that we go in, protect the rebels and get out. The last thing we need is to be paying for a third war.”
