So, basically, you're okay with STARTING wars so long as they aren't complicated or messy, and as soon as they GET complicated or messy, you're ready to haul ass? Does that about summarize your position?

That is kind of a nasty and particularly objectionable characterization...the kind of thing I'd expect from a red neck like you...my way of saying it is that I am NOT ok starting wars at all, unless there is a need to defend oneself and/or a vital national interest, and when there are not, that there be a great humanitarian issue at hand, where the response is commensurate with the nature of the disaster and where the benefit of victims is clear...and that in such cases it be done in concert with the world community. In libya it is my opinion that the victims are not clearly and perhaps not even necessarily friends of the US or the west at all.
