Something has really been irking me lately. Too many Conservatives have been calling for US intervention in Libya. I ask myself, haven’t we learned from Afghanistan and Iraq? The fact is American blood should not be spilled for the concept of spreading Democracy at the point of a gun. That concept is a Leftist/Progressive one. Just because certain beloved Conservatives, whom I will not name, are calling for military action, doesn’t mean we have to be lemmings and agree. It’s the Progressives in Europe who started this call for intervention to assist their manufactured “Popular Uprising”™ in Libya. This is not in America’s interest and we should stay out of this mess.

I am against intervention in Libya. In explaining why, four things about the ongoing commentary and handwringing over no-fly zones and other potential U.S. intrusions seem noteworthy.

First are the sudden torrents of disdain for Muammar Qaddafi by commentators who spent the Bush years saying this very same terrorist — who even then was repressing the very same opposition he is fighting now — was a great ally of the United States against terrorism. I carry no brief for Qaddafi; I thought it was reprehensible for our government to try to launder him into a statesman, much like Clinton did with Arafat. But given that this strategy only tightened Qaddafi’s grip on power, it’s a bit much for us suddenly to be told that we are now under a moral obligation to oust him. Some proponents of intervention add, “He must answer for Flight 103.” Why didn’t he need to be removed and answer for Flight 103 some time between 2003 and 2008?

Third, reading my friend Pete Wehner’s poston Contentions today, I have to say that proponents of the “Freedom Agenda” continue to misstate the position of their critics. Pete quotes George Will’s observation — now apparently reconsidered — that Condi Rice was “quite right” in condemning the “enormous condescension in saying that somehow the Arab world is just not up to democracy.” She is actually quite wrong. No serious person I know is saying Muslims aren’t up to democracy (and what we’re talking about here is a Muslim issue more than an Arab issue). This is not a question of ignorance or incompetence. They understand the principles of our democracy. They just don’t want them

Andrew McCarthy is no isolationist. He is friends with Pam Geller and Robert Spencer and was part of the prosecution team in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. He is against the Jihad and has written a book on Islam’s alliance with the left. These Arab Islamic societies don’t want our democracy. They want theirs, where they can go out conquer and commit genocide as they did in the 7th century and are still doing in many places. These Arabs calling for us to invade are the same clowns that pressured us to back stab the Serbs in the 90’s. They are duping Western progressives and obviously too many Conservatives.

If  spreading democracy at the point of a gun and spilling blood for Islam is what the new Conservative foreign policy is all about, count me out. If this is the GOP’s agenda for 2012 I might sit that election out. I despise the Democrats because they are racists and support Islamic Imperialism. Now the Republicans want unlimited wars to spread Islamic democracies as their policies? Well screw them too.

This isn’t Conservatism, this is Tranzi Progressivism with a fake Conservative face and I want no part of it.
