The Death of Ghaddaffi - Nothing for the Left to Cheer About


. . . that is unless the American left has suddenly changed its tune in their treatment of Obama versus a Republican president. Because Obama won his election campaigning not to intervene in foreign wars unless the national security of America was really threatened. Was Libya posing a threat to the U.S.? A resounding NO.

So why would Obama suddenly sweep in to decide the outcome of a foreign nation's civil war? Terrible leaders, especially those who desire absolute power, like Obama, can never act with rational thought. How would the American left like it if another country, like say, Russia and China intervened to decide the outcome of the American Civil War of 1865? After all Abraham Lincoln was laying siege of and bombarding his own country's cities of Vicksburg, Petersburg, Richmond, and Atlanta. We can recall the movie Gone With the Wind where Lincoln's policies of squashing an uprising were depicted on screen.

Take this example of an article posted on the Guardian and replace the names of Libya with America, Syria with Canada, the Middle East with North America, Obama with the Russian Czar during 1865, Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden with Chinese leader during 1865, and Ghadafi with Abraham Lincoln and see how the American Civil War outcome could have changed had other countries meddled with our own affair:

Russian Czar hails death of Abraham Lincoln as foreign policy success
Kremlin warns other North American dictators, particularly the Canadian President, that they could be next

"Russian Soviet Czar hailed the lifting of the "dark tyranny" over America after the new government confirmed Abraham Lincoln had been killed, issuing a warning to other dictators in North America – and particularly Canada – that they could be next.

"Although the Soviet Czar did not name Canadian president _ _ _, it was he Russian Czar had in mind when he said the rule of the iron fist in North America is inevitably coming to an end. Those leaders that try to deny the push for Confederacy will not succeed, he predicted.

"Russian Czar was speaking in the Kremlin after footage was shown worldwide of what appeared to be Lincoln's bloody corpse. "One of the world's longest-serving dictators is no more," the Russian Czar said.

"The Confederate American South had won their revolution and "the dark shadow of tyranny has been lifted," Russian Czar said.

"Given the number of false claims in recent weeks that Lincoln had been killed or captured, Russian Czar was careful not to say categorically that he was dead. Instead, he confined himself to a carefully chosen formula: "We can definitively say the Lincoln regime has come to an end."

"He promised Russian help for America in establishing an interim government . . . The death of Lincoln immediately raised speculation in Russia that the same military model – the use of Russian power combined with confederate rebel forces on the ground and special forces from China – could be used again in Canada.

"Chinese Leader described the military model as a "prescription" for the future, while Kremlin ministry of propaganda spokesman Jay Carney, when asked about Canada, said the Canadian President had lost his legitimacy to rule.

"The Chinese Leader asked if the same strategy could be used in Canada, replied: "Could be." He told CNN that every country had to be approached differently: "Canada is going to be different from America, but it shows Russia and China are capable of a sustained effort."

"Later, interviewed by CNN, Chinese Leader said that if Lincoln were still at large, it would have created continuing security problems because "he would try to marshal support, that he would pay for mercenaries, that he would engage and effect guerrilla warfare. So if he's removed from the scene, there may still be those who would do so, but without the organising figure of Lincoln, and that makes a big difference."

Now can we see how vile our intervention in Libya was? The thing should have never happened just as foreign intervention into our American Civil War would have been wrong.
