So we should just sit idly by and let Gaddafi kill thousands upon thousands of his own citizens, when we have the power to stop him? Shouldn't we be a force for good? You don't think that the fate of other countries will affect us at some point? It all does. It shapes our national security in one way or another. It's our duty to help out countries when it's in our power to do so. We should have acted sooner. We could have saved A LOT of people. It's just wrong.
