Not One Dime for War on Libya!

Wars and conflicts International USA

The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have cost over $3 trillion,
with no end in sight.

And every single penny was charged to our uncontrolled national
debt, even as Republicans endlessly denounced the immorality of
that debt.

At a time when tyrants are murdering civilians in numerous
countries, why are we bombing Libya?

Is it just because John McCain, Lindsey Graham, and Joe
Lieberman went on TV to demand it? Why do three TV Senators get
to demand wars?

The Constitution requires majorities of both houses of Congress
to authorize wars. Tea Party Republicans insisted they would
strictly follow the Constitution. So why didn’t they hold a
vote?

Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) will introduce an amendment to
upcoming bills to block any funds for attacking Libya.

Every "progressive," "fiscal conservative," and "Constitutional
defender" who opposes this amendment will be exposed as an utter
fraud and should be defeated next November.

Tell Congress!

  • The goal in Libya should be to demilitarize the rebels and Ghaddafi. The mission should serve as a template for how to deal with state actors that export acts of terrorism. It is ironic that Ghaddafi uses the techniques of Al Qaeda and then uses our fear of Al Qaeda, when they are both sides of the same coin. I find it likely that Ghaddafi would scheme to co opt the Bin Laden brand and play both sides. This is not unlike the dictators that find it profitable for their careers to have a Bin Laden or better an Al Qaeda to fear America into cooperation. Libya is not so much a Civil war but the will of a dictator to stoke fear in the US of a Civil War. I suspect the analysts that fear a Civil War and the rebels, are invested with working with the devil they know. A devil that is the godfather of terrorism, holding hostages, killing Americans, blowing up planes, and killing his unwilling subjects.
    Dignity suffers under fear, dignity is a friend of liberty, dignity does not suffer Al Qaeda and Tyrants.The rebels are not warriors of fear and weaponry but of dignity that is as deep as fear in the human psyche and like fear capable of being viral when let loose on the crowd.

    The point I am making is that all the people and countries that have suffered Al Qaeda and Ghaddafi have a clear mandate to stop the use of terror, and to defend the countries that ask for help because of a terrorist whether named Ghahddifi or Bin Laden, it is the lesson of 9/11.
