Obama & Libya

Recently, turmoil and violence in Libya have rapidly spread, causing the citizens of many nations to ask political leaders "What now?" Colonel Moammar Gadahfi, after stomping out protesters via gunfire, has put a halt on oil transportation on an effort to gain control of civilians. CNN posted this article which detailed President Obama's reaction to Colonel Moammar Gadhafi's aggressive moves, such as employing resources such as special forces, regular army troops and, rebels said, fighter jets. The crisis in Libya has put a strain on economies across the world, and the American economy has taken a severe beating as well. In the article posted by CNN, Obama refused to address the issue until a later time. He did, however, say "the violence must stop". Although Obama has put off speaking on the issue, he will make a statement tomorrow addressing his course of action. This article is important because it emphasizes Obama's decision to take time to consider all options, as opposed to making a choice that could damage our nation's relationship with other countries. It is vital that our leaders pause befor leaping into action and making rash decisions. I approve of the patience and deliberance Obama is using, however I belive that a decision needs to be made in good time so that the world can reach peace and stability.
