Also face facts, we are still engaged in Iraq and Afghanistan. How long we are committed there? I say at least 10 years. And is it within our interest to intervene inLibya? Let's face it. Nations have no permanent friends..only permanent interests. We have an interest in intervening in Egypt if it came to that. The need to intervene in Libya is less compelling. Probably why we intervened in Bosnia and we didn't in Rwanda. And why we haven't intervened in Somalia since the Black Hawk Down incident. The Pentagon is not happy about being committed over there. It'll be a case of escalating commitment. People are already accusing us of imperialist pretensions. If the European powers want to intervene at this point, I say let them take lead and we will cheer them on.
