Fighting is nasty, always has been, always will be... but sometimes people have to fight for freedom and a future to appreciate what those things are. Giving them a hand is reasonable, but if we take over and do their job for them, we do them no favors. Some things people have to do for themselves, even if that means more stuff gets broken in the process.
Dayuhan:

Couldn't tel, at first, whether this was just a one-off comment on Libya, or something with broader application (Iraq, Afghanistan)....

I like it.
