Oh, Lonewolf, I'm so over myself I think I'm ready to fall in love with myself again second time around

Your argument - that there aren't a number of striking parallels between the current situation in Libya and early 60's Viet Nam - seems to be at variance with a fair number of informed observers of the conflict. Try googling 'Libya+new+Vietnam' if you'd like confirmation. Of course, you could be correct and everyone else wrong...

As for your final sentence, I consider the clumsy use of quotes to be the last refuge of the inarticulate. But if we're headed down this route, may I offer in reply something the late Madame Ngo Dinh Nhu came to understand all too well;

"Whoever has the Americans as allies does not need enemies"
