The rule of the North African country of Libya by dictator Moammar Gadhafi is certainly obnoxious.
But should American military forces be involved there when Libya poses no apparent threat to our country?
Republican U.S. Sen. Bob Corker of Chattanooga raised vital questions about U.S. involvement in Libya in a recent letter to Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
The attacks, which also were undertaken by some other countries, were “authorized” by a U.N. resolution.
Unfortunately, however, President Barack Obama did not seek a congressional declaration of war, which obviously should be more important than a U.N. resolution when U.S. forces are involved.
