This fear of the Muslim rising up to kick our arses goes back to 1914-18 at least (probably farther still but I haven't read further back yet). It's getting rather tiring as the supposed raging fire that spreads from Africa, M.East to Europe never has happened other than a very few terrorist atrocities which while tragic are small potatoes compared to what we've done to each other over the years.
George Bush V Barack Obama? Not much difference -n the first got us into two wars, one totally unnecessary and the other still going on and Obama et al have no idea when it'll finish - been going on longer than both world wars now. So I'm going to suggest - if we went into Libya that once again we'd end up staying there for years - now if people think it's worth it - vote on it and do it. If it isn't - don't.
