The US went to war with Libya because the Libyan leader's career was in the tank.
Having not really impressed since the Time Out of Mind album in 1997, Barack Obama felt that Bob Dylan's good days were behind him and that he'd never recaptured his great days from the early sixties.
As a result, President Obama ordered air strikes to begin the Libyan War and send a poet packing.
And that 'reason' makes more sense than anything Barack babbled on TV last Monday night.
