Vote in Our Poll: Should the United States Arm Libyan Rebels?

With a no-fly zone in place and American and NATO planes patrolling the skies of Libya, the Obama Administration has been kicking around ideas on how to help Libyan rebels without putting (more) American boots on the ground.  The most notable:  their discussion on whether to arm Libyan rebels.

Supporters of this plan see it as pretty straight-forward:  the Obama Administration wants to take down Gaddafi, the President supports the rebels, so why not just give weapons to the rebels so they can dethrone/kill Gaddafi?  Critics of the idea see it in a different light.  With reports that al Qaeda and other terrorist organizations are infiltrating the rebellion, opponents of arming rebels fear that weapons could easily fall into the wrong hands.  They worry that the weapons the US would be handing out could be turned against our very troops.  They further question its constitutionality.

So, what say you?  Should the United States arm the rebels in Libya?  Is it too risky?  Is it the right time?  Vote below:

  4. Qaddafi is the most dangerous creator on earth he should be killed ASAP. then the whole world will experience peace and brotherhod because. No more wars in africa, No mre illegal immigration to Europe. no more terriorists in Sudan, chad, Niger, Mali. Auganda, and so. Also In palastien no support to HAMAS, the middle east will breath the peace and all the minor problems if any will be easily solved without war. If Qaddafi is still alive he will trouble the place he is in.

  6. Western troops are already interferring for their own welfare and not for the Libyan people welfare. they are already capable of getting rid of Qaddafi in seconds through interlligence authorities, but it is welfare to continue destroying Libya in order to enter it afterwards with its investments and projects. They will not repeat their mistake in Iraq and Afghanistan with the same agenda because they can;t get out of both countries and can't benefit from them and have been exposed to a lot of criticism from their people because many soldiers died there.

    Let us stop thinking of them as our God Father and that the solution in in their hands and that it is up to them.
