Without American leadership, how do you suspect things would go in the the big bad world outside our borders? Kinda like this.

How is that noose tightening there, Obama? Thanks for the leadership, pal.

Honestly, I cannot imagine why the Italians, with their deep dependence on the oil from Libya, haven't joined with the rebels and made sure, militarily if necessary, that the Khaddafi regime is ousted. The US could destroy the Libyan air force using drones alone, and could then begin harassment of their heavy guns. I don't think any Libyan tankman would feel very safe knowing that at any time an unseen, unmanned drone could send a missile up the snout of his machine.

This is a breathtaking lack of leadership from our government, and the rest of the world better take clear notice that the days when America would stand up for Democracy and the downtrodden are over, at least until 2012.
