I have a hard time getting behind the quashing of a rebellion of an independent country by outside forces.

I know al qaeda are scumbags, but if a country wants to become under their rule then I find it hard to find a legit reason why they shouldnt be allowed to do so. If they choose to do so then the International community has other ways to restrict the country then.

This seems alot like the corruption that just occured in "liberation" of Libya. Alot of European interests in a "backwater" country and all of a sudden the locals decide they dont want them anymore.

I am glad Canada isnt committing any forces, only behind the scenes 1/4 logistical support. I do hope the French government is covering the costs at least of the fuel and maintenance.

This vehicle seems very cool..
