and Afghanistan — the U.S. has now entered into a third in Libya.

the Libyan people.</span></p>

the Arab world and North Africa. The U.S. has done nothing to stop the crushing of protests
in Bahrain and Yemen because the Bahraini and Yemeni
dictatorships are close U.S.
allies, armed and funded by the U.S.
