Erigo Abyssus: Smut and Mischief Offer a Solution

Silly dogs.

Why not Saudi Arabia?

The U.S. joined in a U.N. action to establish a no-fly zone over Libya, on the pretext of protecting Libyans from their own government. Is the U.S. government's real motive to protect the flow of oil, and to do it by hiding under the coattails of the U.N., many of whose members are every bit as repressive to their people as Gaddafi? There are a lot of questions to be answered.

If the U.S. really just wants to assure continuing importation of oil from the Middle East, then it should quit pretending that its military actions are aiding democracy, protecting the indigenous population, and the like. Just cut to the chase and invade Saudi Arabia, seize the oil fields and make the kingdom the 51st state (the 51st star on the flag could be accompanied by a crescent moon). Oil problem solved, other problems just beginning.
