Viva Libya libre!
Enough already: it's time for the United States to extend recognition to the provisional government of Libya. It's just plain humiliating that we should stand by, thumbs in all the wrong places, waiting for the United Nations, when France and Britain are leading the way with actions that really bite the dictator in his softer extremities. There's a civil war in Libya! The good guys are winning! Please, Mr. Obama, don't just stand there gazing helplessly toward Turtle Bay: do something. Show the world that you deserve that Nobel Peace Prize you got so effortlessly. Blue skies! -- Dan Ford

Dear Dan Ford,
What do you think of the full roster of the members of the Benghazi council, or of the current de-facto head of Tripoli?
You advocated, or as some might say, propagandized for this war. What did the Nuremberg Standards have to say about advocacy of wars of aggression? I am curious to hear your viewpoint.
Best wishes, thanks for the insightful blog.
Mike
As I wrote in a more recent post: "They probably won't be as friendly to the U.S. as they might otherwise have been, had we been more forthcoming in their struggle. Indeed, they mightn't be friendly at all. That's the hard part of democracy and popular uprisings. But it's their country, and I wish them well with it."
I don't think of the Libyan rebellion as an aggressive war, but as, well, a rebellion! Rather like ours of 1775-1783. Thanks for visiting. Blue skies! -- Dan Ford
