As the question relates to Libya, I think honest and charitable people can be against supporting the rebels and still be humanitarian. What is your position on this point?

My point was tongue in cheek, but I wouldn't be surprised to find that more liberals support humanitarian efforts than do conservatives, being that conservatives have more of the "individualism gene" in their pool than do liberals.
My further comment was to point out that humanitarianism and donating to charities aren't necessarily the same thing, regardless of whether it's blood or money.
It's difficult for me to accept that one who strongly supports humanitarianism would be against the idea of a no-fly zone in Libya as outlined in the U.N. resolution.
