Over the weekend, the United States and Britain sent missiles to Libya in order to clear the airway so planes near the area could fly and land safely.
However, Obama says that he doesn’t want to get involved in the riots over there with the rebels. He claims that he won’t be sending any troops in that direction.
It doesn’t make sense that he would launch missiles over to Libya and expect the rebels to not retaliate. Libya probably does not have the resources or money to get back at us right now. But who’s to say that they won’t try once they get their hands on supplies?
Whether or not he planned on getting too involved in their war, we’re risking it by sending our missiles there. It is not any of our business and the last thing the United States needs is to have tension in another country. Our country does not have the money for more conflicts, either.
Also, Obama stated that he feels bad for the civilians of Libya because they are being horribly mistreated by the rebels. Yes, that is very unfortunate; but it is not our fault that they cannot control their people and we have no right to be doing something about it.
Helping out the civilians is definitely a nice thing to do, but, at the same time, we should be putting our country and our citizens before others and now we might be getting ourselves into something that we should not be in.
