I favour intervention because the bad guys need to know that if they get too awful, they will be killed
For some small relief from Lavscam or climate, how about an item in Monday’s Post, overshadowed by Trudeau’s ludicrous threat to sue Andrew Scheer, that “U.S. pulls forces from Libya” because you can’t shoot your way to a functioning democracy.
Including, oddly, in interventions like the Western one in Libya in 2011. Or Iraq in 2003. Because if you fight and get stuck in a quagmire, it saps your strength and your will. As here. Monday’s Post said the U.S. has “temporarily withdrawn some of its forces from Libya due to ‘security conditions on the ground,’ ” a phrase here meaning “lack of security conditions on the ground.” And Marine Corps Gen. Thomas Waldhauser, head of U.S.
Apparently the “Libyan National Army” of “Field Marshal Khalifa Hifter” is storming toward Tripoli, Libya’s “capital.” Which the Post warns “could potentially drag the country back into civil war.” As opposed to the long-standing situation of rival militias roaming about blasting away at each other and everyone else.
To avoid melting snowflakes, let me stipulate that Libyans are a vibrant people with a rich culture. Which regrettably seems able to sustain anarchy or tyranny but not the thing in between. Facile fulminations against imperialism notwithstanding, the West did not create that problem, there or elsewhere. But it exists and we must face it.
