    Default Re: Civil War in Libya

    You guys are such turds. I'm a fan of perpetual war in defense of people everywhere. Americans aren't worth a penny more than anyone else - all humans willing to die for justice should be willing to do it anywhere, for anyone suffering injustice. Over the years, I've come to view westerners who aren't prepared to fight for freedom as worth less than those who are prepared to fight for freedom. I'm more allied with the people of Libya than I am with my own waste of space countrymen and women.

    Now, to be honest, I am not in favor of the protests in Yemen because I do not believe that people there are interested in Freedom from anything other than the people who prevent them from opressing people even more brutally than the current regime. There is nothing hypocritical about us not sporting that movement, because it does not support freedom. We don't just support "movements", we support "freedom". Libya seems to reflect that, Egypt certainly did, Tunisia did as well. Baharain might. We are not even agaisnt "oppression" per se - in fact we are in favor of oppressing those who would themsleves oppress civilians just trying to live their lives.

    A human being is a human being is a human being. We have no more of a right to be free than anyone else. Some would argue that they work harder for their freedoms than we ever have - yet we have a military ready to die for us when we deny that protection for others. If you have the ability to defend those suffering and deny it when you would require the defense yourself, you are scum.

    "That rifle hanging on the wall of the working-class flat or labourer's cottage is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there."
    -Eric "George Orwell" Blair

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
    (Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, 1861).
