It is REALLY not nice; it is really an ugly affair! Despite most of us desiring and waiting in great anticipation of the day Colonel Muammar Gaddafi will step down (or be forced to leave like his neighbors Hosni Mubarak of Egypt and Ben Ali of Tunisia). I say it is not nice and I also say it is ugly because now we are witnessing an incident that really tore and divide the world. Most people of the world just want the giant United States of America to play the big brother role to the rest of the nations of the world. Most people want the United States of America to display benevolence and wisdom in their leadership over other nations.
As one commentator commented in some Brazilian publication that: “…to see the self proclaimed superpowers bombing other countries. Things are getting ugly, western countries are mudding the water in their determination to show latest arms (how strong they are)”.
Now this comment above might not be the truth and I doubt that it is the truth but considering that within less than 10 years America is up and up again bombing another country may in the first degree leave people wondering. And let us not be shallow and say that these US led coalition is implementing the United Nations Resolution. Let us come down to the bone of the whole thing and acknowledge and accept that in actual fact the United States of America is more powerful more convincing than the United Nations in the eyes of the people of the world and in reality too.
The case of the United Nations was at least put forth by former President George W Bush when he viewed the United Nations playing role as a worldwide humanitarian organization rather than deciding on mighty issues like wars. In actual fact George W Bush might have been saying “Trust the United States to lead and guide the world”.
Obama being a sensible moral man perhaps we may see soft landing for this dangerous divisive airplane flying in stormy weather in Libya.

Top-level comments on this article: (6 total)I understand what you say Chris and I partially agree. I don't know which side is the more at fault in Libya, but I do say that I think we are right to stop Gaddafi is he is actually willing to kill many of his people. I think President Obama doing the proper thing, and I rarely say that. An excellent and well present case from you on this. I appreciate it.
Hi Chris. This is a well-balanced commentary. I appreciate that you make your point here without undo slandering. I do hope and pray we come through this and this untimely loss of life for greed and power's sake will be cut short. Although, I honestly feel that if our goal is not to bring this leadership down, then what is the point? and I have to say that I believe our president has learned that its not as easy as sitting around the table and working things out. Sometimes force is necessary, the problem is, nobody is clear on when that time is. God help our leadership!
Very well presented article Chris, and I thank you for sharing it. I agree with both comments from my fellow SWarpers, Joel and Teresa ... and, I appreciate what they stated as well. [miss all of you]
As Ron said...Its actually well presented Sir...
Hi Chris.Honestly, is the US really that powerful. I'm an American and I don't really see it that way. But I do agree with some parts of the "big brother" type roll. Unfortunately, by using that comparison, you would seem to be saying that sometimes, yes it is okay to step in and use a bit of violence.I never had a big brother, but I am a big sister and there were many times I had to use force to protect my sister when we were younger.Now, I suppose you could say that we all grow up and learn better at some point ... lordy I'm moving off topic here, too many random thoughts flying around in my brain ... so my question is when will the US grow up? When will the Middle East grow up?Hugs,Dianne
Yes. It's a positive thinking.
