I was just about to post a thread on this.
The Arab uprising is still young, yet has already accomplished (some desired, some not) sweeping changes. This is the people revolting against regimes, extremism, oppression. This is the people trying to reclaim their cultures and lands. It's time for the West to get the hell out of there (the entire ME) and let them rebuild, let them form their new governments as they want them, free from exploitation and corrupt influence.
The best thing the West could do to end extremism and the terrorism that results, is to leave. Of course that will never happen with trillions of corporate, reconstruction, military etc.. dollars in play over there, not until people all over the world reject Capitalism and pursue a Free Market.

second line..
Islamic extremists storm embassies and kill people is big News. Average Muslims who are outraged about things being done in their religions name and do something positive about it is simply...
"Propaganda"
Okay....
Moving along.

If we were to do that all the warmongers would call us isolationist. But you are right there is way too much money to be made there stealing other countries natural resources not to mention for some reason the stupid people thinks America is supposed to protect a certain terrorist nation.

Well if you look at the evidence it gives, (No Benghazi embassy listed on usembassy.gov, the embassy isnt on google maps & no pictures of the embassy pre september 11) how can you deny it?
(Reuters) - Libya's army on Sunday ordered rogue armed groups in and around the capital to leave state and military premises in Tripoli or be ejected by force, apparently seeking to capitalize on the withdrawal of militias from Benghazi and Derna.

That's because the attack on the US embassy was a preplanned terrorist attack. The people of Libya know who the terrorists are. Libyan investigations into the attack implemented Libyan Gov't officials, who are sympathetic to the extremists, down to the Libyan security supposed to protect the US ambassador. The terrorist staked out the embassy concocting their plan. When the time was right the Libyan Gov't official sent word to the ambassadors bodyguards to stand down because an attack was coming.
Security is very weak in Libya so the people themselves must take care of bizness.
It's BIZNESS TIME!

What do you see in this image?
There could be a civil war but the extremists are greatly outnumbered by the people of Libya, military, police, Gov't included. Now there are some bad apples in said organizations so lets hope they get rooted out as well. I think at this point the terrorists in Libya are going to be running for de hills!
Hopefully this is the beginning of Libya's cleansing.
Hey terrorist! GTFO!

As encouraging as this news is....
Follow its logical course.
People will rally against the extremist elements..it will become almost a mini civil war between the majority moderates and the extremist..making the moderates themselves a bit extreme.
From there, a leader may arise that can get the job done so to speak..clamp down harshly on extremism..do what needs to be done.
Isn't this was Saddam Hussein was? He was a madmen because he slaughtered tons of his own citizens almost daily...most of whom were considered by the administration as extremists.
ok, perhaps a bit cynical..just saying, when fighting a monster, its difficult not to become the same monster you fight.
I have no solution to this.
