PERSPECTIVES “America at Not-War”: Should the US provide Libya arms? Aftan Snyder Co-National Editor In the sarcastic words of Jon Stewart, when has arming rebels ever gone wrong? Let’s think. In the ’80s, America armed the mujahedeen in Afghanistan in order to bring about an overthrow of Soviet forces. The mujahedeen became the Taliban. We were so focused on the containment of Communism that we were willing to empower a group that turned out to be just as dangerous as the Soviets. And oh yeah, the Taliban sponsors terrorist groups like al Qaeda, groups that we have pledged to fight today in our global “war on terror.” We also sold arms to Saddam Hussein in Iraq during the Iran/ Iraq war. This occurred despite staunch public reassurances from the White House that it would never approve such a thing; America claimed “neutrality.” I guess “neutrality” meant that instead of arming just one side of the conflict, we would arm both. see PERSPECTIVES, page 4 4 The Anchor National April 6, 2011 BP explores This Week In News Impasse over new budget: Congress must decide by April 9 or face government shutdown options for
