Please check your history before you make comments like this. The song was written in Irving Berlin in 1918 and popularized in 1938 as a song of peace against Hitler and the rise of Nazism (which is as far from Communism as you can get!). It is not even a Christian song as such, as Berlin was Jewish (and a Russian immigrant not born in the US)

We cannot control what happens over there
We can only pray and hope that things over there will settle down.

And I agree now that's achieved if he wants to stay he's going to have to do some fast work and some fast talking. These people wanted change, not lip service, he's been making promises and not keeping them and living by dictatorial force over his people. I'm hoping this limited military action will allow Libya to now settle its own matters.

I'm sorry to destroy your dream but those military makes it only worse. They attack normal people, they destroy citys. They do the same thing like in iraq and afghanistan.
