No way. For a post-industrial nation, we somehow have an abundance of sheep.

I wish the good people of Lybia my best wishes in their quest for freedom from a tyrant. Just don't ask us for money, food, medical supplies, equipment, and most important our young men and women who proudly serve in our military. The American public are getting somewhat tired of offering our help to millions of people in some whacky country only to realize that they are not appreciative of what we actually do for them.

Libya: Protesters, security clash in capital (AP)

AP - Libyan protesters celebrated in the streets of Benghazi on Monday, claiming control of the country's second largest city after bloody fighting, and anti-government unrest spread to the capital with clashes in Tripoli's main square for the first time. Moammar Gadhafi's son vowed that his father and security forces would fight "until the last bullet."

Funny how these "revolts" weren't going on when Bush was in office. Although many of these countries are run by Dictators, they were friendly with the USA and kept the Islamic Radicals in check. The protesters (many who support radical Sharia law) have absolutely NO RESPECT for our current US President and thus are taking over. I hope Obama is 1 and done...........

Chaos as Libyan Gov't Building Burns

Witnesses say protesters and security forces are battling for control of central Tripoli,
with snipers opening fire on crowds and Qaddafi supporters speeding through in cars,
shooting and running over protesters.

If anyone thinks al qaeda and other factions are not behind this and Egypt you are sadly mistaken. Every day our gas, oil and food prices are soaring out of control , which cnn loves to tell us and more importantly them.
They have attacked us once again and didn't even have to board a plane to the U.S., let alone fly them into our buildings.
They know all too well fucking the status quo in the oil producing countries=fucking with us and our economy.

Rebels, Gadhafi forces battle over Libyan oil port


By PAUL SCHEMM and MAGGIE MICHAEL, Associated Press Paul Schemm And Maggie Michael, Associated Press – 11 mins ago

BREGA, Libya – Forces loyal to Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi battled government opponents for control of a key oil installation and airstrip on the Mediterranean coast in a counteroffensive Wednesday against the rebel-held eastern half of the country.
The fighting at the Brega oil port appeared to be the first significant attempt by Gadhafi's regime to push back against the large swath of territory seized by the opposition — almost the entire eastern half of the country. For the past week, pro-Gadhafi forces have been focusing on securing his stronghold in the capital Tripoli and trying to take back nearby rebel-held cities in the west, with only mixed success.
In the capital, Gadhafi vowed, "We will fight until the last man and woman" and he warned that thousands of Libyans will die if U.S. and NATO forces intervene in the conflict.
