The death of Osama bin Laden hasn't really made us better off than we were four years ago, anyways.  He was pretty much just a boogeyman by the time of his assassination.

To even compare it Iraq and Afghanistan is dishonest and asinine...

You're right, to try to downplay Libya by comparing it to Iraq and Afghanistan, or any other conflict that wasn't solely unilateral, is dishonest.

I don't understand your point.  Neither Iraq, Afghanistan, nor Libya was solely unilateral.  We had broad international support (at least among NATO and "Western" countries) for Afghanistan and Libya, and much less, but still some, in Iraq.

The relevant point is that 0 Americans died for Libyan freedom (or "freedom"), while thousands of Americans died for Iraqi and Afghan "freedom."

Not that kind of unilateral, domestically unilateral without any respect for the War Powers Resolution. The relevant point is that the President declared a unilateral war w/out Congress

I see if it's a war that a few hundred rich white men approve of while BILLIONS of people around the world protest against it is okay.  But if BILLIONS of people around the world agree with the war but you don't seek the approval of a few hundred rich white men then it is a travesty?!

Please provide your source for "billions of people around the world" agreeing with the bombing of Libya.

I don't know about billions, but the Libyan revolutionaries wanted it, and overall it was widely viewed as a humanitarian necessity, considering how Gaddafy Duck's troops were closing in on Benghazi, and there was a pretty reasonable chance that the city would be in flames if it fell to the forces that flew the world's most original flag.
