We were discussing the President's speech and his justifications for intervention. Nowhere in the speech did the President cite "vital national interests."

Why not?
I would think that 'national interests' would be the first thing to be addressed when justifying an attack on a sovereign nation, wouldn't you?
You seem to be all over the place on this. I' m not even sure what you're trying to say anymore.

The confusion probably stems from your insertion of the word "vital." I can lay out my position for you if you like. But I'm pretty busy trying to make a living at the moment, so I'l try to post something if I have a chance later today.

In the meantime, if you have a moment, it would be great if you could actually state what your position on the intervention is.... Are you against the no fly zone? If so, why?

Right. I forgot that you are the only one allowed to ask other members their opinions on current events. How silly of me to think I could do the same...
