   We were wrong.  The war was based on a lie.  And yes Bahrain is   
   comparable to Libya.  Both nations have "lost their legitimacy to   
   govern", in Obama's words.  Both have rebel movements who want freedom.   
     Yet we attack Libya and support repression in Bahrain.  I oppose this   
   use of force in Libya because it is an act of war and Obama is not   
   asking Congressional permission.  Also we are not just enforcing a   
   no-fly zone but are bombing the nation.
