i can't see much in the libya gig to grouse at frankly
i low profiled it
if asked
i was against the UN sanctioned nato bombing ...of course
as i was the non UN sanctioned nato bomb runs over serbia
but i was thinking of the king of france and ben franklin
just a little ..not much... but a little ...
far from an exact parallel
our liberation struggle played one big empire against another
a classic national liberation strategy
used by the 16th century dutch
and the irish ..
in the rising of 1798 ..don't ya know
but saints alive
Himself here was hardly a great opprressive world power
like our ben was fighting
in the final analysis
i guess if the insurgents called nato in
one can nix the bona fides of the insurgents
if one wants
but t'is their call not ours to make
then again
we must always seek to momentarily ground the empires of the air
if at all possible
