I TOLD YOU SO - AGAIN
Back in March, I found no commentators criticizing the West's role in this operation or in Egypt. In fact, there has been a steady stream of "conservative" criticism against Obama for not going after Kadaffi more resolutely.

By contrast, I (who have nothing to lose - I'm not being paid for this and answer to no one) was warning repeatedly about the error in our involvement in the Middle East and pointing out then-unheeded facts to state my case, reminding, for example, that the local Christian populations were always the ones who paid the biggest price when a stable secular leader was replaced by a mob, which eventually, inevitably, turned into an Islamic-led government with significantly less freedom for the people than before - as well as vastly less diversity, which, oddly, Western powers prize in their countries. Israel, of course, came closer to the brink of war with each successive "win" and Iran was given a permanent pass by the West, as though these merciless enforcers of brutal Sharia law, who execute countless people for sexual misdeeds and inappropriate clothing, were lily-white defenders of human rights (as we speak, there are 2 Americans jailed in Iran for "spying," on flimsy evidence).
