Marvin X on Partner Violence, A Pauline Conversion

By Rodney D. Coates*

Balancing on the precipice of Ockham’s Razor, the world debates on whether or not it should intervene in the Libyan crises.  As we debate, a tyrant continues to bombard his citizens, but the question is can or should we –particularly in America – be doing something.  Similar debilitating discussions in America’s past to include Rwanda, Sudan, or Bosnia –resulted in embarrassed silence, isolation, and ultimately inaction.  Now, faced with the potential for massive civilian de
