Reader comment on item: What's the Goal in Libya?
Submitted by Rebecca Moulds (United States), Jun 17, 2011 at 20:46
There is nothing new in NATO's incompetence and errors. Dispatching Qaddafi is hardly going to tip the scale in our favor; history tells us that getting rid of Saddam Hussein didn't make Iraq a better place. The U.S. should listen to sound advice or stop meddling altogether in affairs that they really don't understand.
