| #8 I'm not sure I like the way Nato did it, but I like it a lot more than the way we did Afghanistan. Now Nato can go to work on pencilneck. |

| #7 If they didn't have that sort of stubborn stick-to-it-iveness, they wouldn't have had the drive to become dictators in the first place. It's self-selection in action. |

| #6 It's the strangest thing about some of these characters. They might have a chance for survival if they would just take their money and leave. But they choose to stick it out and keep fighting to the bitter end. As for Daffy, I have mixed feelings. I won't lose any sleep over his demise. But the way NATO has gone about it raises a lot of questions. It's kinda like the devil you know and the devil you don't know. |

| #5 I'm surprised Saleh went back to Yemen. I thought he'd go into retirement in SA. Not too long before the Red Sea only transitable by armed convoys. |
