Lighten up a bit on Kamina, I see his point when you all went Squee on the Raptor seeing action. While I do know it was because it was finally going to action, it's not a hard leap of judgment for one to see that you're all squeeing at the thought of a fighter plane bombing cities. Also, Strangelove's question of "Should we do the same to Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and Bahrain" makes him sound like a War Hawk. I'm sad that everyone had to resort to violence to resolve this issue.
But isn't aways like that? Through war we achieve what we want. Be it peace, democracy or dictatorship. Once an Kung fu teacher, whose gave me lessons for about an week, taught me something I believe to be truth, "man cannot live an eternal cicle of war and neither an eternal cicle of peace", we need both happening in order to make things keep moving around us, that's how human nature is. Unfortunately man sometimes cannot be reasoned with words, and when that happens violence is the only option left, and that the same situation with Gaddafi, he woundn't listen when international authorities said to him to stop his opression against his own people, and now that happened all that is left is to destroy him. This might sound sistematic but this is how our leaders think. Of course the USA and the EU don't play hero for free, so they might have their own motives to be doing what they are doing, whatever they are. Nobody is saint after all. But personally, between being under the control of that mindless fool and be attacked and dominated by an internation force, what would be the best option?
