There are people actually fighting in a war. It is real. It is interesting reading and listening to the ramblings of "intellectuals" far removed from the field of battle, but the fate of real people lay in the hands of people debating what they think needs to be done or what they are willing to do. All of this should have been resolved before getting involved. Thomas Sowell put it well in a editorial peice appearing in IBD:

You don't just walk up to the local bully and slap him across the face. If you are determined to confront him, then you try to knock the living daylights out of him. Otherwise, you are better off to leave him alone.
Anyone who grew up in my old neighborhood in Harlem could have told you that. But Barack Obama didn't grow up in my old neighborhood. He had a much more genteel upbringing, including a fancy private school, in Hawaii.
Maybe that is why he thinks he can launch military operations against Moammar Gadhafi, while promising not to kill him and promising that no American ground troops will be used.
