Libya

Libya is too complicated for a blog post, but I'll do my best.  Most of the commentary I've read on it is either ideologically self-serving ("yes we should intervene in Libya, because military interventions are good!" or the opposite of that) or tortured, cautionary, and inherently skeptical. 

I fall more in the latter column, but I also can say that I categorically support (a) the way Obama has brought about the military action there (b) the method that force is being deployed, and (c) the proposition that we have both a human rights and realist interest in intervening in Libya.

I'd tell you why but I have to go to dinner with this nerd
