He is doing the right thing at this point in time. The United States cannot afford (in many ways) another war in the Middle East. Obama has evacuated all the Americans, is providing humanitarian aid and is encouraging the Europeans to take action. That is the least harmful response to a very difficult situation.

http://www.al...Bugaighis's website about Libya,<br />http://www.alfa-online.net/<br />devotes two pages against Israel. one, called Palestine shows maps and infers that he favors a one state solution, palestine with no israel. the other about gaza claims that "a few rockets" were fired from gaza. Israel endured more than 1700 in 2008 alone. strange that he would put these issues on his libyan website, but no others. he doesn't mention syria and iran in lebanon or any other arab issue. i believe that dent meant well, and bugaighis is a leading member of the local muslim community. however, his obsession against israel cannot be ignored.michael molovinskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12581039755319742687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-38607353941548764582011-03-11T23:57:30.353-05:002011-03-11T23:57:30.353-05:00Open mouth, insert foot.Open mouth, insert foot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-34753289844958810162011-03-11T21:12:50.650-05:002011-03-11T21:12:50.650-05:00Mike,

The extent of the problem was clearly illustrated when an NPR executive was recently recorded spouting the old canard that “Jews control the media.” I have heard with my own ears many academics rail against Israel as evil while seeing only virtue in its enemies. The world is upside down and it is the nation’s intellectual elites who have it all wrong. We can only wonder how they could be so smart and so wrong at the same time.<br /> Meanwhile those who thought Obama was the one to “deliver from evil” are being slaughtered in the Libyan desert by those who figured out he isn’t.<br /><br />Scott ArmstrongAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
