#1 Soft targets in Switzerland? How long before 'dhafi's jihadi's realize about 100% of the Swiss population is more heavily armed than Americans, Israelis. It's illegal not to be armed? Something ..... eh Maybe he's just calling out his saudi buds.

#2 There needs to be a formal diplomatic response to this kind of b.s. from head of state.

#3 The really ironic fact to consider here is that of all the middle eastern strongman Gaddafi probably is the most rational and deterrable.

Unfortunately the message that western powers have been sending to Gaddafi since Reagan left office is that no matter what he does we will not do harm to him, his family or his country.

It began with Bush I's absurd UN/legalistic response to the Lockerbie attack, which was an act of war.

Inaction under Clinton was followed by Bush II'2 surrender in 2003 (Gaddafi gave up nothing of consequence, not even the immediate and unconditional release of the Bulgarian hostages was part of the deal. In retrospect it was surrender.)

The final act of submission was Brown/Obama's release of the Lockerbie scapegoat.

Like it or not, the American response to 9/11 in Afghanistan and Iraq is signaling provocative weakness. And if the world's lone superpower appears to be weak there are truly bad consequences, globally.

#4 about 100% of the Swiss population is more heavily armed than Americans, Israelis.

The Swiss have weapons and ammunition under their beds at home, Last Breath Farm Resident. They aren't keen on concealed carry in general. So unless the jihadis attack them at home in the evening, who is going to stop them?
