Freedom . . .

So, now we're attacking Libya.  As if we didn't have enough to worry about.  I'm pretty sure I didn't hear us declare war.  We can't consider it retaliatory because everyone involved in their conflict was local and they were attacking each other.  We can't claim that they were already at war with us this time.  In fact, now we're attacking a legitimate government inside of their borders because they were defending themselves against a violent overthrow attempt.

It's funny how some were "offended" when President Bush responded to an attack against us, saying we were imperialists, but now that we're actually attacking another country, it's the previously-offended people that gave the order . . ..

It doesn't matter if we like the government or not . . . we can't just go around attacking sovereign nations at will without declaring war . . . and what would be the justification for the war declaration anyway?  So sad . . .
