I mean if Gadhafi sent a cruise missile to the Whitehouse I am sure the
Americans would call it an assassination attempt, act of war and so forth.

So what has our society become where such levels of hypocrisy exist and
it is acceptable?

Just maybe, I mean maybe, our leaders are just as bad as the people we
attack. Just more polished in BS and herding our attitudes.

But clearly the president of the USA has too much power for one man.
Instigating war without provocation and without consultation makes him
as much of a tyrant as Chavez, Castro, Gadhafi and others in Yemen,
Syria, Hamas, Rwanda and others... but he does have more power....5th
fleet.

If Harper, Ignatieff and Layton had any morals, they would have declined
entry into other peoples wars. So Canada, UK, France and otehrs with
vested interests in Libya are also deserving of blame.

But the question is, should Obama be impeached for attempted assassination?

But Ronald Reagan tried it too. So is one to assume assassination in
other countries is legal in the USA?

And more, maybe the charge should be treason. Turns out before US
involvement in Libya ....
