<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1295749, member: 26302&quot;]Now those are fair points I agree with.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know it sounds like I was all for being involved in overthrowing Qaddafi, but I wasn&#039;t. I am also a Gulf War vet who protested against going into Iraq, since we had no right to go in later when we did. I am completely against the US being a world policeman. I never liked Qaddafi due to what he did, but we had no right to intervene this time. My only points regarding him here has been to counter the argument that we went in because of another silly US substitute currency plan. We stupidly went in because our NATO allies France and Germany demanded it, and stupidly we paid for almost all of the mission. Again, what the heck, we can waste taxpayers money.</p><p><br /></p><p>THe US dollar will be supplanted eventually, just like the British pound was, just like the Roman Solidi was, etc etc. It will be organic in nature though, with most of the world preferring another currency, rather than something dictated by a madman.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: Btw it is a very good suggestion to listen to opposing media. I listen to NPR in the car, BBC at home sometimes, and Al Jazeera on the web. All have different takes on world events, and its healthy to hear their arguments, if only to understand why you believe they are wrong. I hope here I do not sound like I drink US media Koolaid, its just in this instance I think this story&#039;s basis is kind of silly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
