#1 In one incident, an LIFG killer, armed with a sword, went after some policemen. The cops pulled out their pistols, and, well, you may have seen that one play out in the movies.

Do ya feel lucky, punk? Well... do ya?

#2 For example, after the Iraq invasion of 2003, many Libyan Islamic radicals wanted to go to Iraq and fight the Americans. Khadaffi let them, and gave orders that any who survived and tried to return home, were to be shot on sight

If this has any relationship with reality, well good. A pity he couldn't skip the middle steps and just shoot the Jihadis. That would actualy save him some trouble in the long run.

I guess he needed the fig leaf of being able to say "Sorry, I guess the Americans must have killed your young ~~idiot~~ son."

I wonder if we can exploit his need for a domestic fig leaf to the US's advantage?
