It looks like pretty minimal chance of ground involvement, though. If airstrikes count as a war, we've been at war with Sudan, Pakistan, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. way before 9/11.

#5I can't help but be reminded of the Team America film.
Like most South Park material it seemed crude and ridiculous on the surface, but underneath the surface its sadly accurate.

This will be over quickly. The US involvement will probably be limited to a supporting role (missiles, not planes). We probably wouldn't be involved at all, but come election time, it wouldn't look good if Libya was "liberated" and the current administration did nothing.

If you think the US went into Iraq for oil, you should also bear in mind that it would have been cheaper to buy oil on the open market than wage war for an extended period of time. Just my two cents. $120/barrel isn't high enough to go to war over.
