Sharia Law Coming To A Country Near You

We also see Egypt not exactly going down the path of liberty and secularism. We'll know more when the time comes to vote and for the military to give up power. Will they or won't they?
Quote from DAS Trader:

Wrong. Both Iraq and Libya were basically secular governments before we went in and mucked things up:

Libya:

For Libya, it's almost like all we cared about was making sure they established a central bank (and scrapped Qaddafi's desire for a gold backed dinar)...which could be why the rebels took the unprecedented step to do just that, before they even had positive control of the country.

Dammit, so we liberated these Libyan fckers and they are now gonna go all muzzie terrorist on us?!

I say we nuke Libya and be done with it.

Obama had us fight on the same side as Al Qaeda in the war against Qaddafi (and both sides were too ignorant to know that "Q" is supposed to be followed by "u").

We should not nuke anybody, despite what mad dog jakejones says, but should instead just stay the hell out of every single Middle Eastern war.

Other than seeing that Qaddafi was punished for his terrorist acts decades ago, we have just switched controll of Libya from one tribe to the other. For what purpose remains a mystery. Little will change from our point of vew except that it may become more terrorist leaning until we are forced to teach the new leaders their lesson on U.S. military power.

Remember, Libya was removed from the state sponsor of terrorism list; a list they'd been on since the list was first written. Not sure this was about terrorism...especially given the fact that we were aiding Al Qaeda (and they were probably laughing their asses off the whole time).

No, Qaddafi's desire for a gold backed dinar is what got him killed:
