    Good one, One World Government Obama.  While I dont agree with everything he says, this part struck me.

    Now, I well know that in recent postwar conflicts, we don't have declarations of war. But we have Congressional  debates. We have funding votes. We have a sense of the Congress or some kind of resolution.This time, zip. Nada. Nothing. Just France and the U.K. and Norway saying that it's time to go to war, and off America goes to war. And off Mr. and Mrs. Obama go to a South American “fact finding” trip for the POTUS and a fun sightseeing junket for the Obama girls.(I wonder if there has ever before in history been a national leader who sent his country to war — and the same day went off on vacation. Has that ever happened before? )

    My emphasis

    This source is a conservative U.S. magazine reporting on political scandals, and a bit controversial http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2001/11/the-life-and-death-of-i-the-american-spectator-i/2343/ I'd like to understandWithout any offense to any personal opinion about the UN or Odyssey Dawn or any ethnic, religious or political beliefs, some reactions seem to be stances with suspiciousness, fearfulness, hostility, hypersensitivity, rigidity of conviction, and an exaggerated sense of self-reference!What are the reasons you can oppose to what is currently happening in Libya?

    I didn't realize this but just saw that there's a new movie coming out about the Roman Legion:http://www.lastlegion-movie.com/But for some reason it appears they're taking the “King Arthur” route, similar to the movie of that name, King Arthur, from 2004.  I'm not sure why they're making another movie on such a similar theme in such a short time period.

    War on Libya has started by the French!!Just heard Sarkozy on the radio, what a virile declaration of war! (especially after the “funny” incident involving his foreign affairs minister spending her holidays in Tunisia and thereafter suggesting to send French police forces to crush the mob protesting against Ben Ali)

    Okay but why didn't the Cia send “Robot Fish Charlie” instead ??https://www.cia.gov/ then click Quick Link / http://www.flickr.com/photos/ciagov More seriously : does a diplomatic status matter in such countries playing double -if not triple- game?However I believe (and hope) that since this case has been made public and largely known through worlwide medias, he might sour some time in jail but should be released after few “horse-dealer” settlements

    Now, Omer, a question for you:What's the game you're trying to play on this board?  (I moderate a fairly large board devoted to a different topic.  Frankly, I suspect if you joined my board I'd end up having to ban you for trolling and/or being disrespectful to other posters.)

    My purpose is fully respectful, don't worry.However, I'm a bit irritated to read comments or personal analysis without any source or reference supporting it.I agree that this is just a forum and that courtesy must prevail and I'm very sorry if I hurted your feelings but I never bend to any God-like affirmation furthermore I didn't insult you!About your post, I can provide a source and several arguments about a comparison between the Civil war (Sheridan) and Iraq war.Parallels with 2007, the War in Iraq, and President George W. Bush are obvious but not with the war itself nor even with Sheridan.http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/355655/how_the_iraq_war_is_like_the_american.html?cat=9 Best regards

    The above comments on Sherman destroying the will to wage war is important.Compare the first war in Iraq to the second.  In the first war by the time the American soldiers arrived the bombing campaign had destroyed the will of the soldiers and civilians alike to continue to fight.  In the second war American troops easily won the initial battles, but did not destroy the will to fight.  Hence the outcome of these two wars was very different. 

    How relevant is your comparison with the Iraq war? What are your sources?Is it just a personal analysis?
