Carl Graham March 29, 2011 Media and Society Libya Topic of Violence The national headlines that has been capturing everyone attention as of February 2011 is the erratic behavior of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi. He has been empowered of an oil rich nation, north of Africa since 1969. Due to his recent erratic and unpredictable behavior has cause concern for neighboring nation to take action. Always known for his harsh and ridiculous judgment, he may have crossed the line when he began to bomb and kill his own innocent citizens. With nearby nation such as America and Europe having a moral reasonability duty of help the helpless, has forced us to l aunch a broad strike of warplanes, missiles and military intervention against Colonel Qaddafi and his government. President Obama defended our action by saying it is our nation duty to stop a potential massacre. But with the United States already involved in two other countries, the debate come up, is it smart to start a third. One of the main concerns of America citizens is; wh en invading a country to oust it government leaders, you have to replace its officials. This began to get costly, with the United States already facing its own finical recession, do we have enough resource to help another country, when we cannot help ourselves. Because of our oil trade with the North Africa, it will cost us just as much to sit by and watch Colonel Qaddafi destroy our oil trades and embassies. President Obama quoted “it is not in our best interested to attack Qaddafi and his government, but at what point does it become in human to set back and watch innocent people die.
