Stray Yellar Dog and D.K. Jamaal address the likely response of the woman-hating element in the media to the possible outcome of Obama’s decision to join international forces in establishing a no-fly zone in Libya.
SYD sums it up: "If All Goes Well in Libya It's To Obama's Credit, If We Get Mired in Another War... That's Hillary's (and Mac's) Fault."
In the meantime, Nick Kristoff at the NY Times applauds the initial success of the UN’s humanitarian intervention in Libya to prevent the ongoing slaughter of civilians.
Kristoff reports the gratitude of Libyans for the just-in-time intervention.
This may be a first for the Arab world: An American airman who bailed out over Libya was rescued from his hiding place in a sheep pen by villagers who hugged him, served him juice and thanked him effusively for bombing their country.
Even though some villagers were hit by American shrapnel, one gamely told an Associated Press reporter that he bore no grudges. Then, on Wednesday in Benghazi, the major city in eastern Libya whose streets would almost certainly be running with blood now if it weren’t for the American-led military intervention, residents held a “thank you rally.” They wanted to express gratitude to coalition forces for helping save their lives.
