On the one hand, we have a tradition of coming to the aid of countries whose citizens are fighting for freedom. On the other, many times our efforts to help have backfired as groups claiming to want liberty in fact were simply attempting to overthrow one form of oppressive government and replace it with another. In this case, the larger question is why the president is so disconnected from Congress, that he has taken unilateral action. Further, it's ironic that a president who has mastered the art of doing nothing in response to a crisis, has chosen to respond to what is arguably the most complex of a myriad of recent crises. Obama continually demonstrates that he is not only unfit to lead, but unfit for the office. In taking unilateral action against Libya, he has established a high water mark for naivete and arrogance at the presidential level. Those two traits will ultimately prove fatal.
