Remember the faces of tomorrow's enemy. They'll have their rifles pointed at our troops before long.
And they'd probably have a pretty good reason for do so.... assuming theyre not riding camels down Main St USA...
Translation: if we leave them the hell alone and stay home, I doubt Libyans will be pointing guns at Americans.
Edit: I may be completely wrong about this, and I've been wrong millions of times before, but I thinking Libya won't turn out like Iran or Afghanistan. One thing that is glaringly obvious (as a difference), is that the Libyan Transitional Govt has apparently acted independent of foreign hands. I've been looking at this conflict with great interest, and the steps they are taking are very similar to a nation wishing to form a democracy.
I think one of the best things Libya has going for it, is that is wedged between somewhat "moderate" nations... Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia. But we will see.
Is that why there are already reports that Al Qaeda is already meeting with the rebels to set up training camps in exchange for helping the rebels win? Did the camels fly to Lockerbie? Did they ride camels into the Disco in Berlin that killed American soldiers?
Egypt is forming a democracy too ... with the Muslim Brotherhood at its helm. Libya is directly to the East of Egypt. Why do you think that Libya, who was a huge exporter of terrorism and had terrorist training centers throughout the country in the past (some would maintain they still do) will be any less radical than Egypt is turning out to be, when Egypt has always been a bit more Western-friendly than Libya?
That was state sponsored ala Wacky Kadaffy. As for AQ setting up camps, who knows? It certainly is possible, but those reports I'd look at with a suspicious eye... there are plenty of reason why someone would want to put American boots on the ground in Libya.
