  • A Letter from Benghazi on Crappy Republican Talking Points
    • majii 10/18/2012 at 7:59 pm

      Thanks for sharing this, Dr. Cole,
      I am as sick of the lying RW talking points as the author of this letter. I have shared parts of it on Facebook in an attempt to interject some facts into the conversation about what happened in Benghazi on September 11.

  • Obama on Libya vs. Trump, Palin, Bachmann, Romney, Gingrich and Carrot Top

      Thanks for your clear interpretation of the president's speech, Dr. Cole. He's been saying the same thing since he first made the decision to intervene in Libya. I applaud you and President Obama for your pragmatism.

  • An Open Letter to the Left on Libya
    • majii 03/27/2011 at 10:16 am

      Thanks,

      This needed to be said, and you have done so eloquently and documented your positions. It is definitely true that some on the left need to develop the ability to view a situation from more than one perspective. I'm a pacifist, but I couldn't countenance the slaughter of Libyan citizens by ignoring Qaddafi's history of abuse toward them. I also see a huge difference between the multilateral approach President Obama took in Libya and the unilateral approach GWB took in Iraq, and imo, it's a much needed improvement.
