What's in line for the U.S. in Libya?

Pay attention, folks.

Early reports from "our" government cause some to think our involvement is a hit-and-run deal. We're just supporting the U.N. and France. Anybody believe that? Call me right away - I've still got that bridge in New York that I'd like to sell you.

And then the Associated Press article this morning with the Northwest Herald headline, "Lengthy U.S. stay is likely in Libya."

Isn't it Congress that is supposed to declare any war that the U.S. enters?

Gadhafi says, "We are preparing for a long and glorious war." Just rhetoric. Just posturing?

Tell me how the U.S. is not trying to change the regime in Libya.

All this causes me to wonder how we, here in the Heartland, would be supported if, say, "our" government came and began confiscating all the legally-owned guns from law-abiding, private citizens. Would a Resistance spring up? What if Iran, Russia (or any of its now-many countries), China, North Korea, etc. (or even England, France, Germany) invaded the U.S. to support the "rebels" (that's us, folks)?

Are we now in three wars?
