Bend over Europe and the West...
So, here we are. President Obama began this whole mess, much like he blames President Bush for starting other messes. Of course however, he discusses how this was SO necessary. Yeah, because Iraq and Afghanistan wasn't necessary. Qadaffi has pretty much threatened the West and Europe now with revenge and retailiation. He threatened to destroy homes and offices, stating that Europe and the West have done the same thing. Never mind the part about him putting down his people in a harsh way. Am I in favor of the way he treats his own people? No. And I wasn't in favor of it when Iraq and Afghanistan were doing the same thing for the way they treated their people. Oh, but we shouldn't have gotten involved in that because that was wrong. But somehow, Libya is SO right! What makes it so right? Well duh! Obama's in charge, 'nuff said!
Well, it will be interesting to see if Europe and the West back down here, or, if they call Qadaffi's bluff. Is he really bluffing? I tend to this so. He's certainly not in a position militarily to do much of anything to two continents. Meaning Europe and the US in North America. So in a way, he is bluffing. However, as a Muslim, he could certainly incite others to strike out against Europe and the US. Cause we don't have enough hating us at this point. If you want to see how Radical Islam is already effecting Europe, try reading "While Europe Slept" by Bruce Bawer. Interesting read.
Personally, given that Europe bends over backward to appease Radical Islam, I think it will be a situation similar to the movie Animal House. "Thank you sir, may I please have another?" Europe, in large part, is very Liberal. Rather than expressing how Qadaffi treats his people and how NATO is trying to stop that, they will likely look at themselves and talk about how they've done so much wrong! Of course, the ever popular "it's the fault of the US, let's blame them" will probably be quite loud as well. It's the new fad in Europe. Blame the US for everything, because we Europeans are SO much better than anyone else. Yes, they are and exclusively in the Egocentric department! Reminds me why people left Europe to begin with. It was for religious freedom, yes. However, it was also about "we don't like the way things are here, we evision doing them a different way. So, we're leaving, you stay here, have a nice life."
So, it will be quite interesting to see if everything is halted and self blame ensues, or more to the point, blaming of the US. Or even better yet, somehow, this will all be Bush's fault, despite Obama getting us involved in this and his being in office for going on 3 years now. As always, he'll take credit for something until American, and apparently the world, sees that it's clearly not working. Then, it's Bush's fault.
