In places like Libya the people are basically having a civil war - Libyan against Libyan. Why are we taking sides? Probably OIL, not because we "care about" anyone. I worry that our "reputation" and credibility as a "good" nation is damaged.

What if the world community got together and focused on tackling stuff like sustainable energy instead of sustaining the status quo? I think our existence probably depends on it at some point. Why not now?

Diplomacy not war, solar panels not guns!!

Peace
