Around the world and with Fresno

Well, I wasn't actually going to be doing any entry dealing with what's going on over in Liba, but it looks like I should. I know that this is a hot button topic and I really don't want to pick sides, but one has to be understanding when it comes to something like this in the first place. And I know that there are two sides to this, but the thing is you have two sides over there, and two sides over here.

 

Now I can understand what the feelings are over here when it comes to any war, at first we're all for it if something happens to us, but it seems like when something happens to someone else, that we should stay out of it and just let them handle they're own problems, that would be true if that was the case here, it wasn't and the fact of the matter is, we didn't send in the first missiles into Liba, it was actually the French that did that. However yesterday when I had gone over to the Wheel audition yesterday, there was an entire group that was out there protesting our going into the war. Now please realize that we had done this once before and that was just before we got into WWI, and we joined up in the last minute on that one since our President back then was actually trying to keep us out of it, but our interests over there got the better of us and we had to get involved with that one. However like most case instants when it comes to over seas war, you do have people that are going to take to the streets and protest every war that's out there, but when it comes to this one that's going on over in Liba, I may not be for fighting, but I do understand the reasons for this fight in the first place. Now as much as I would love for it to have been like in Egypt, that wasn't going to be the case here since the one ruling the country had pretty much stated that he was going to give up power over his dead body and even hired mercenaries to do his fighting for him, and that's was going to be a major thing right there since the military sided with the rebels. I hate to say this, but this war isn't a case of it being a civil war, the moment that mercenaries were brought in, the civil war part went right out the door there.

 

So even if you choose to take sides or not, this is one war that yes we are involved in, and more then likely it's going to end up being a very fast one no matter what the current power in Liba happens to think.
