Benghazi is now controlled by Libyan citizens protesting the Khadafi regime. They are being assisted by military who have come to their aid.

FUCK YEAH.

Khadafi, as you will all remember, was BFF with Edi Amin, the bufoon dictator of Uganda, who kept the body parts of children on ice for those special dinners. Khadafi used to stay at the palace, and we can assume ate the food. Later, Khadafi was made head of the UN Human Rights council. No, really.

OR NOT!!!! I get what you are saying, and yeah, there is a chance that a fundamentalist Islamic state would be created. But there are equal chances for a secular democracy. Either way, I think the people of Libya deserve to chose their own form of government.

The people of Libya are very brave, as Khadafi is a complete whack job.

The people of Libya are very brave

Well I don't know if they are necessarily brave as a whole, but we do know that at least some of them have balls. (Lockerbie)

C'mon SPG,

That's like saying you don't know if Americans are necessarily brave as a whole, but we do know that
at least some of them have balls. (Oklahoma City)

Same thing.

Speaking from my own experience - and I realize that everyone's experiences are different - most of the world, Libyans included, are just trying to get through the week, keep their families fed, and keep their kids from screwing up. No matter what if any religion they practice, it is the rare human that would do something like Lockerbie or Oklahoma City.

We are left with an impression of whole countries full of homicidal jihadists because they are the ones that make news. Achmed Q'teny selling extra watermelons this week, or his daughter losing her first baby tooth, don't make news. And you will never see a headline "Muslim Father of Two Goes All Afternoon Without Killing Anyone".

I think it is quite unfair to damn an entire people because of the acts of a few.

I have Muslim relatives who have worked for the Federal government for decades, and their biggest crime I can see is spoiling their kids rotten (ask me about that sometime).

ummm . . . Not really. See, I live in America and I proudly served this country in the USAF, so I can tell you from personal, first hand experience that we ARE brave - as a whole. I know this from being a citizen and a veteran.

Now quit busting my chops ;-)
