A plurality (45%) also thinks the United States should not get involved in conflicts like Libya for humanitarian reasons when the situation does not directly threaten this country. But 35% feel the United States should get involved in conflicts for humanitarian reasons even when there is no direct national security interest at stake. Twenty percent (20%) are undecided.
Forty-five percent (45%) of Likely Voters support President Obama’s decision to use the U.S. military to help rebels in Libya, but slightly more (47%) think the president should have gotten Congress’ approval first.

The numbers are similar when comparing Political Class and Mainstream voters. Seventy-one percent (71%) of Mainstream voters believe the plan will cause health care costs to increase, a view shared by just 35% of the Political Class.

Wonder how many of those 28% could even point to Libya on a map? Most likely Obamazombies.

With the amount of times that Libya has been at our front door on the verge of taking us over, I'm surprised more people don't believe that Libya is important to national security.
