Here we go again, following a president to war

At the not-so-tender age of 59, I’ve heard just about every argument an American president has used to justify military intervention abroad. After listening to President Obama this past Monday night attempting to justify America’s use of force in a Libyan civil war, I’ve now heard the most pathetic.

“We have intervened to stop a massacre, and we will work with our allies and partners to maintain the safety of civilians. We will deny the regime arms, cut off its supplies of cash, assist the opposition and work with other nations to hasten the day when [Libyan leader Moammar] Gadhafi leaves power.”
