Let's not be so poltically correct. Most of the reaasons to oppose the current war are based in a hardened political agenda stated from day one. "We want Obama to fail." Harm to America and the world is good as long as the political agenda is protected.
Meanwhile, war throughout the world are ongoing without American action. Something that both Clinton and Obama has tried to encourage. Something that George Jr discouraged. The UN (and the French under UN authorization) has all but ended the war in Ivory Coast. Using concepts that an outmanned battalion of British marines also did so succesfully in Liberia. AU is active in Sudan. India performed a successful operation in Sierra Leone to all but end an uprising against an UN mandated peace settlement. How many know about India's successful deployment and combat? Few. Discussing reality does not help Obama to fail.
