Live and Let Live

The United States is leading the effort to impose a no-fly zone in Libya, even though we have no vital interests there. Neither do Franch and Britain have vital interests at stake in Libya. What happens in Libya has little bearing on the rest of that area of the world. Also not to be ignored, there are worse human rights violations elsewhere. But interventionists have goaded another president into acting as if the opposite were true. A third war with no stated goals nor exit plan.
 
Obama and his fellow bullies in Britain and France can not provide a coherent goal for this intervention. Reason? There is none. We and they just do not like their leader.
 
What if the rebels in Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya are organized and led by the Muslim Brotherhood and/or other radical Muslim groups with a goal of removing all dictators/monarchs in that region and replacing them with pseudo-theocracies? And the United States and other free countries are  helping them? This could be the start of WWIII with Russia and China standing by to jump in when it is most beneficial to them?
 
We must learn to live and let live.
