Libya what the Hell is going on?

Just a simple post: what the Hell is the USgov doing?

Does Obama only really move to support dictators and oligarchs?

I read report after report that the people really need help and our government does nothing at all. This is the lead up to WW2 all over again. This is our generation's Spain. That monster Gaddafi is Franco but far worse.

We Americans are feckless and useless. Out of sight and out of our minds and we again stand by and watch people being slaughtered. We rarely get moved by events in the Congo, Sudan or any of the hotspots for slaughter and rape.

America sleeps more than any other nation except for France. Yet today The French FM woke up and recognized the provisional government of Libya. At least the French still remember their revolution. Our revolution was really about slaver owners fearing the British might abolish the practice and the rich not wanting to pay taxes. Nothing much has changed in America except the rich find indentured slaves in China.

The Libyans need our help. The women of the region need our help.

America sleeps.
