As the United States plays an active role in Libya in an effort to stop Col. Gadhafi’s forces from advancing on rebel territory, questions arise about whether or not this is a proper role for the U.S. Tom from Boulder, Colo. called to say: “Everything that we’ve seen from Gadhafi is that he is a madman who just needs to be taken out of power. If the United States did not get involved, the whole world would be just criticizing them for doing such a thing.” Wade Hamon from Cherryville, Kansas disagrees: “While Gadhafi and his government are obviously blood thirsty folks who don’t care about even life one iota, I am 100 percent opposed to U.S. invention. It is dangerous and puts our citizens more risk and further diminishes the stature of the United States throughout the world.”
