Not to mention the common sense aspects. Radicalization in Libya was obviously a concern post Khadaffi. I think we'd all agree that visible US troop presence would simply accelerate this further and make things even more difficult for the new leadership.

"You're taking this personally rather than simply look at it from the perspective of the Libyan people."
And from where does your keen insight into the feelings of the Libyan people come from?
"I think we'd all agree that visible US troop presence would simply accelerate this further "
Who would agree with that? Not me. Again, you're inventing stuff to suit your agenda. You're saying that a heavy presence of US troops will only fuel the fire, not put out the flame? If that's true ( and it's not), please explain why the Iraq Surge was such an overwhelming success? One of us was there, one was not.
Spence, if a spot becomes volatile, the very best thing you can do to preserve the peace, is to have Marines everywhere. Despite what you believe, our presence
keeps out the rif-raf,it does not embolden them.
