Which fact is more important?

          Today, I read an article from The New York Times about U.S force move to Libya. According to the news, “Mr. Gates said he had ordered an amphibious assault ship, the Kearsarge, and an amphibious transport dock ship, the Ponce, to the Mediterranean.” In addition, from this, “…there was no authorization for military force in a United Nations Security Council resolution…” In this phrase, he obviously considers doing military operation without UN support.
             I heard that the president in Libya oppresses the protesters with military power; as a result, many people died and injured from the action. A human’s life is the most important in the world, and we have to save their lives. However, The United States is still spending a lot of money for wars. For example, it was not completely finished with Iraq and Afghanistan yet. There are about 150,000 soldiers in the area. To maintain this force, America has to use much money for the supplement. Furthermore, there is a thrill with South Korea against North Korea.
             Eventually, the purpose to find biological weapon was not achieved. People criticize it was failed. Where is the money from? All money is from tax in America. The United States Government has increased the deficit from the war. Of course, it is important to save people in Libya; additionally, as the most powerful country, it is important to preserve peace. However, in my opinion, the government has to ask its citizens about this war before keep going on.
