Like a gang of bullies - What? The US thinks that it will now isolate itself from payback??? There is NO high ground here. The US has declared war on a sovereign nation.

Sovereign Nation, No provocation - not even a hint of WMD like in Iraq and yet the gang of thugs of Britain France and the US decide to go killing people and issue a fatwa on Gadhafi. I do not care if we do not like how a country treats its people, or if Gadhafi is an ahole, or if we feared Gadhafi would succeed in crushing the civil rebellion in Libya, that country is not our property and a leader's treatment of a people, or regime change is not a justification for war .. unless of course you do not mind the same logic being used by others against you.

This kind of foreign entanglement crap is exactly what George Washington warned of and will be the death of the United States in the long run.

And they shake their heads is stupefaction as they wonder why, just why, these nations want to get their hands on nukes. Ain't rocket science.

BTW, where is the press yammering on about the wrongness of all this, like they were when Bush did his "thing"? Must be an Obama thing.
