OMG the idiots on Tumblr

I did a search on #libya and I'm amazed by how many people are wondering why we aren't attacking the Libyan government, the government that did NOT attack us and also want to know who is behind the attack.

People are scary. War war war! It's the answer to everything! We don't know whom we should attack, but let's attack someone! Now! Before we have all the facts!

I can't even imagine people thinking like that.

1. Am willing to bet that these same people don't have loved ones in the military either.

They are pretty good at sending other people to do their dirty work.

She peruses it for the fan sites and gets her political info mostly from me. Tumblr has its bad side, too, though.

3. Try a search on 'libya", Sorry, but you've spelled it incorrectly.

Maybe the responses for the correct spelling will be different.

I intentionally refrain from posting on threads about Islamic radicals as well as Xtian radicals because (trust me on this) damned few DU'ers would like what I have to say. But you are correct, people in this country asking for war are stupid.

Normally, killing an ambassador is damned close to an act of war, but who is really on charge in Libya? To me, it's obvious the Imams are.
