it had a per capita GDP of $13,400, the highest in Africa. These oil countries all have a very deceptive GDP due to oil. The leading tribe that runs the country takes most of it. And spend as much time as possible in France. Travelers I have read and believe say that life is miserable there.

So considering everything together, the oil, the relative affluence and well-being of its small population, it seemed to me that it's a part of the Arab world where democracy and capitalism could get a toehold and ultimately flourish Ya right! That is O's motivation too! Ya right! And all the money is in Tripoli banks! Ya right! When are you going to start preaching to us about the Koran and the wonderful Sharia laws? Or have you? ---a country worth gambling our military involvement on. What unbelievable hubris and arrogance to be willing to GAMBLE other Americans lives for a coin toss. What if you lose? Do you think it is worth a similar gamble to protect our own borders and ourselves? If not why not? If yes, when will you begin to support that? Your opinion would have some value if you were a volunteer doing the fighting and gambling with your own life. Have you ever served in the US Armed Forces? Have you ever risked your life in a gunfight to help someone else or to kill someone else? or kill many someone elses? I believe the only thing on Obama's menu for America is arrogance, cowardice and bullshit. Arrogant enough to interfere with and destroy other lives, cowardly enough to order others to kill or be killed, and so full of BS that integrity seems like an ancient hieroglyph. What part of this is on your plate? uw
