Ever been stuck on a problem for hours, or maybe days, and then all of a sudden the solution just pops into your mind?

Do we get involved, or not? That is the question haunting the Obama administration as the World stands by watching and waiting to see what happens in Libya. Perhaps the better question is, what do we have to gain by getting involved? One could hardly argue that Libya is a threat to the United States.
