Taking Islamic Countries
 

What is this new trend with the Americans trying to take over Muslim countries, Iraq, Afghanistan and now Libya. Whos next? Pakistan, Iran?

Re: Taking Islamic Countries
 

Libya is on the basis of a UN resolution with specific wording that excludes ANY ground forces.

It's for a no-fly zone only

The Americans may be involved in this one but they're not leading it.

Re: Taking Islamic Countries
 

sure about that ? haven't seen the many leaders on the telly much ,seen plenty of cameron after he's had permission to speak from obama of course

Re: Taking Islamic Countries
 

MArty I think the French are going to lead this 1. The yanks are going to stay out of it and provide a bit of firepower for the 1st couple of days after that it'll be Nato with the french leading it.

oh and Zee yeah it does look that way but this time they have a UN Mandate.

The french eh ? oh well thats it then ,no more lybian oil ;)


thats ok then we can all sleep easy tonight

Re: Taking Islamic Countries
 

They really are in a no win situation aren't they? The ignore the pleas of the Libyans and they would be accused of neglecting them and being complicit in their murder. They intervene at the behest of the countries people and the African league of nations and they are warmongers.

Win-Win for anti-Americanism.

This is a good question. How do you feel about it?

Re: Taking Islamic Countries
 

I think you need to spend a little less time listening to paranoid Imams and hotheads. You might also ask yourself why it is that the countries you listed are so prone to being led by dictatorships, military or otherwise, with a greater or lesser tendency to brutalise and oppress their populations.

One might ask why Zimbabwe or North Korea don't merit the same treatment.

Re: Taking Islamic Countries
 

we all know its to do with who controls the oil

Re: Taking Islamic Countries
 

True. And one might also get quite tired of hearing trite, simplistic questions being asked as if the answer were some self-evident, self-righteous lament about oil, or the lack of it. ;)

Re: Taking Islamic Countries
 

its not a lament though is it and it is about the oil. It certainly isnt about whats best for humanity there is no gain in that is there?

Re: Taking Islamic Countries
 

I don't think the OP is referring to oil as the common link. ;)
