House GOP Chairman Urges More U.S. Engagement in Libya


http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2014/07/26/house-gop-chairman-urges-more-u-s-engagement-in-libya/

This article is about the intense fighting between Libyan factions, that forced the evacuation of the U.S. Embassy in Libya.  The violence grew near to the Embassy's borders which made it mandatory for them to vacate Libya for the time being.  I chose this article because the U.S. involvement towards issues in other countries has been very limited.  Even though it is important that we fix our own problems, it is also very crucial that we support other countries in their time of need.  The House GOP chairman believes that they shouldn't have been taken out of Libya, and instead should have been there helping Libya out of this turmoil and chaos.  This prudent decision to evacuate the Embassy's personnel, made by Obama's administration, just made matters worse in Libya.  The U.S. Embassy should be at the scene doing their jobs and gradually guiding Libya towards a better life.

Questions:
Do you think that the U.S. should be more involved in Libya's situation or keep trying to avoid it?
Do you believe that Obama's administration made the right decision in evacuating the Embassy's personnel?
Overall, do you feel the U.S. should become more or less involved with problems outside of our own country?
