During Republican administrations foreign policy debates are usually between those on the left arguing for non-intervention and against war and those on the right (with a few exceptions–libertarians and Pat Buchanan) arguing in favor of intervention and the use of military force. But in Libya the “great” left right divide is drawn between those on the left who argue for conducting an air war and not (necessarily) regime change, to the those on the right who, in addition to the air war, argue for arming the anti-Gaddafi forces, with regime change being the main goal. Thanks to Obama the entire debate has shifted dramatically to the right. Conservatives in this country owe Obama a debt of gratitude for successfully neutering the anti-war movement.
