Let the Muslims Destroy Themselves

Why should any free nation want to intervene in Libya? Muslims don’t want freedom. They care nothing for democracy or anything Western (but money). It is not a righteous act for European nations, much less for America, to intervene for the sake of any supposed cause of Libyan people.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy declared that Moamar Gaddafi’s Libyan government has lost all credibility when it attacked its own people. Of the military strikes against Gaddafi’s government, Sarkozy said,

We are doing it to protect the civilian population from the murderous madness of a regime that in killing its own people has lost all legitimacy.

I don’t recall France making such a declaration when the Yankees attacked the “rebels” of the American South during America’s Civil War. France remained officially neutral during the entire war. In fact, most French diplomats openly favored the North. Furthermore, when the secessionist of Charleston, South Carolina fired on Fort Sumter in the Charleston Harbor, no other nation recognized the states rights advocates. No other nation ever recognized the South as an independent nation, nor sought to help them become independent.
