America's Libyan Revenge (The Daily Beast) Posted: 30 Mar 2011 08:46 PM PDT The Daily Beast - In all the discussion of where, if anywhere, American strategic interests lie in regard to Libya, one very obvious motivation for U.S. action seems to be being ignored: Vengeance.

The demand for vengeance is not a high-sounding principle of the kind that President Obama might like to intone in his recent speech to the nation, but it has always been an invaluable weapon in the realm of international relations, and its visceral righteousness demands far more respect than windy resolutions of the U.N. Security Council.
