Critical thinking requires thinking or at least some investigation from alternative sources. Was there a genocide in Yugoslavia? Where did this information originate? Who benefited from the breakup of Yugoslavia? Why did a previously settled population become restive? What role did NGO's play? Did the UN authorize NATO to destroy a well developed state? Did Qaddafi, whom the West had no problem with for years piss a very large actor off? Did the UN authorize its destruciton? Why are some 'Dictators' acceptable but others are not? Is it when they outlive their usefulness or decide to trade in another currency that a very large actor doesn't like? Why is it OK when a very large actor attacks, bombs, intervenes, sanctions, embargoes other states but not when other states do the same to defend their own interests?
