In Libya it’s having war with other countries because of the rebellion that is happening with their citizens. They want to get off Gaddafi of the power and put another ruler within the rebels. This conflict is an all-news today it’s very important right now to hear all about what is happening over there and what is gone happen later in the future. This war is gone affect the economy allot only by trying to get Gaddafi out of power they should leave alone that country it’s not our problem. Only because they want to get more oil and gain more power they are getting in a fight. What are we gaining? Nothing we are just losing who is paying all the missiles all the weapons we the citizens. It’s not fair that all the soldiers are dying over there just for the oil.
I do agree with you in that we shouldn't be there, the rebels should be the ones that do the fighting and just support them politically, as acknowledging their movement and their Council, as true and official government, respectively. But I do think that it is our problem, even if we don't do anything, if we weren't to take any action, their are going to be repercussions all over the world, just like you said, one them will be in economy; But most importantly the fact that we should help this people to get the freedom they (and only "they") are trying to reach for it is a matter of social ethical responsibility, again I'm not saying we should intervene sending our ARMY to Libya but supporting them politically and diplomatically. (Ej. Cutting any market relationships with Qaddafi's government or any support to Libya)
ReplyDeleteI do agree with you on your sentiments over the cost to our citizens, right now is not a great time to spend more. But it seems to me that humans right are more important than any drop of oil. Yes things are bad economicly but this extent of displeasure comes from the economic downfall here in the United States and other western countries. If we don't help each other out, then what can we ever expect to achive as a race?
ReplyDeleteAlthough it is a tough issue, I feel that it is the duty of the UN and NATO to monitor civil wars and make sure that genocide does not occur. In this case, war crimes were most definitely being committed by Gaddafi's forces and it was our duty as world powers to do something to stop it. Although I am against most military actions our country has taken in recent years, this strikes me as a just cause.
