#3 No-one ever accused either of those assholes of being crazy, grom. Evil? Occasionally, but crazy, never. Not saying that Gaddafi actually is as crazy as he presents, but I'm generally inclined to take public figures at their behavioral word, as it were. Reagan was amiable, Bush the Younger goofily friendly, Mondale bureaucratically dull, Obama a narcissist, and Gaddafi acts like a crazy man.

You can deal with an evil man, because even the evil are capable of recognizing logic and self-interest. At least some significant sub-set of the crazy are incapable of recognizing self-interest and are at best passing acquaintances with logic.

#4 Who's crazier: Qadaffy who managed to rule an Arab country i.e., a country of clinically certifiable sociopaths for 42 years, or people who think that a such a country can be a democracy and USA ally?

#5 man did I glance at the headline wrong... I thought it said: "Qadaffy's entourage sends out secret POLICE feelers"

Wasn't really sure what that was all about or if I wanted to know.
