It amazes me how little strategy has been articulated for the Libyan no-fly zone. Bush at least fed us the pretense of WMDs for Iraq; Obama hasn't even bothered to explain why we're intervening in Libya and not in Bahrain, Yemen, et al.
I can understand the humanitarian impulse, but a little consistency would be nice.
I provide cartoons for the Evansville Courier and Press and I'm also a Professor of History at the University of Evansville and my academic research is on WW2.This is a personal website and reflects my views, not those of the institutions with which I am associated.

Couldn't agree more, Jay. It's a strange decision. Josh Marshall has a pretty good piece on it at TPM - donno if you've seen it.
