Ed Krayewski on The Young Turks' "The Point" Talking About Mali, Libya and Unintended Consequences, Today at 3:30pm ET

Tune in online

I recorded a short video on why the current intervention in Mali is an unintended but not completely unforeseeable consequence of the recent Western intervention in Libya for an episode of "The Point," a weekly panel discussion on The Young Turks online news show. The video's supposed to launch the discussion on blowback in North Africa. The show starts at 3:30pm ET today and you can watch it here.

In the meantime here's some reading on Mali:

Matthew Feeney on Mali, Libya and the reality of intervention

Sheldon Richman on Mali and President Obama's push for ever more intervention

Me on Dominique Villepin's criticism of the French-led intervention, and

me on Mali as Libya blowback way back in April.

And, of course, you can get the latest on what's happening in Mali and around the world at Reason 24/7.

Good luck, Ed. I can't stand that douche that hosts "Young Turks". He's like all of the pompous liberal ass of Rachel Maddow and (brain freeze... why can't I think of the Politically Incorrect and Religilous guy's name??) but without any name recognition... which apparently the second guy doesn't have for me either.

Spoken like a true Beckerhead.

spoken like a true shill of generic leftism.

Spoken like anyone who has had the misfortune of reading Obama's Buttplug's drivel.

I don't see what liking "Loser" has to do with anything he said.

The douche you're thinking of is Bill Maher.

Wouldn't a real Young Turk support war and conquering Libya, the Middle East, the Balkans and killing the Armenians?

[LTC(ret) John]

And this time they will put down the Arab revolt, no meddling T.E. Lawrence and British Empire this go 'round.

I'm trying to hurry up and become super wealthy so I can give Reason enough money to fire Ed Krayewski.

I hate your intellectual dishonesty Ed. You're as bad as MSNBC.
