    Sorry, not sure how citing population statistics, a $15 trillion consumption-based economy or a 235 year history of commercially justified slavery, persecution and foreign destabilizations is sterotyping.

    In Operation Desert Storm, the coalition was huge and our main allies pitched in like champs. That analogy applies here.

    In 2001 the U.S. went cowboy and blew our credibility indefinitely. Our allies made the correct decision, except Britain.

    The US and others that are attacking Libya are supporting the same thing in Bahrain that they're attacking Libya for.

    Not exactly. The US Admin has been critical of what is going on in Bahrain but they are faced with a far more delicate situation given that Bahrain is an ally. I suspect there will be some sort of diplomatic push for reform in Bahrain.
