O'Reilly: The Triumph of Evil

Townhall - The opposition to military action in Libya is fascinating. President Obama is taking incoming fire from both the left and the right as various agendas collide against neutralizing Moammar Gadhafi. The dissent is all over the place, so let's try to simplify the situation. We begin with a quote from Edmund Burke: "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." That's true. We have seen it time and again throughout history. When evil is not confronted, it can win, often with devastating results. There is no question that Gadhafi was on the verge of slaughtering his opposition. His mercenaries and highly paid military were closing in on rebel strongholds, and amnesty would not be forthcoming, as the colonel himself publicly proclaimed. Finally, the U.N. acted, and a no-fly zone was approved. After waffling for weeks, Obama swung into action, ordering U.S. planes and missiles into the skies. Then he went to Brazil. Immediately, the far left erupted. Ralph Nader is calling for impeachment. Michael Moore has suggested that Obama give back the Nobel Peace Prize. Congressman Dennis Kucinich wants to cut off funding for any military action against Libya. Read full column here: News New Mexico

O'Reilly ought to go voer himself and deal with the EVIL. The US, or rather the government known as the US, has no constitutional authority to involve itself in any foreign issues. If one reads, that is can read, the Constitution, one will not find ANY authorizing grant. The power to form treaties does not provide such a grant because all treaties made must conform to the Constitution not the other way around. If the treaty is not within the granted scope of powers, the treaty is not legitimate.

We the People are angry because out government has murdered tens of thousands of our young men (and women) by involving us in battles that are not ours and are none of our business. Everyone would be incensed in Qaddafi decided to come into the US and intervene. And why wouldn't he be just as justified as people like O'Reilly who want us to intervene in Libya? Who says O'Reilly's opinion is the correct one?
O'Reilly should remember that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. And IMO his road is well on its way there.
