All,
What do you think about the entire situation in Libya and what did you know about the country prior to it seemingly popping up out of nowhere, news-wise, three or so weeks ago? Also, do you agree with the Daily Show's skewering ofour foreign policy in this clip? Have we gotten to a point where freedom and democracy are nothing more than ideological ShamWows?
Prior to all of the violence in Libya, I did not know anything about the small country other than the fact that it's in Africa. It seems like all of these countries are revolting at once. I think Gaddafi should step down since he's been the ruler for so many decades.
The daily show clips shows that our foreign policy is like informercials. We're basically giving help to countries that we think will benefit us in the future. It's kind of like a the golden rule. Treat others the way you like to be treated. If the U.S. help out those particular countries, they will help you out in some other way. (oil)
