Mr. Zakaria's at it again, writing so beautifully and articulately for Time Magazine, this time discussing the situation in Libya. It's been a very controversial subject. People worldwide are split in the middle on their belief of the US mission/role in Libya. Should or should they not be there bombing to "help libyans"? You see, the road to freedom in which often is identified and defined by America, has been paid for with many lives who were not Americans. So, are they really aiding? humanitarian assistance or strategic interest?
Mr. Zakaria writes "But more than anything else, what appears to have infuriated many American politicians is Obama's unwillingness to put the U.S. in the driver's seat."
The U.S. has undoubtedly done a great job in announcing the need to support the libyans. They have done a tremendous job but it's time they back off and leave it for the other nations to take the lead now. I applaud them for not waiting to announce the genocide taking place in Libya and doing what it can to support the libyans but it's time they transfer the leadership over to arab nations , its time they step up their game. And let's remind ourselves, with a track record like the U.S, it would be difficult to believe a positive outcome in Libya, is the only smart move the U.S. could do.
