BUT . . . Biiiiggg BUT here . . When you have a country (or in the current case, Countries) that are taken over by Radicals with lawless agendas or no effective government (Yemen, Somalia, Libya, Chad, etc) you have places that breed terrorists and outlaws (With all due respect, Outlaw) that will create problems for all of the civilized world.
And those things generally come home to roost in the form of things like 9/11, and lots of smaller, more frequent attacks all over the globe, usually targeted at one or another country's interests.
Problem is, or rather, the debate is, do you interfere and if so, with who . . ? You can keep the status quo and support the dictator, or you can gamble and support one or more groups of rebels or freedom Fighters, possibly, ending up out of the frying pan and into the fire as Libya and Egypt has just shown us.
In the case of both Libya, and now Syria, if we give the "Rebels" arms and technology, in six or eight months, we may find ourselves the targets of the guns we just gave them . .
D@mned if you do, and d@mned if you don't . .
In any case, expect O'Bozo to open a waffle house . . He's gonna try like hell to do absolutely nothing . . Just keep it in limbo . .
