#1 From the article, the domestic issue remains: The business of America is to show that a free society is possible. We are the friends of liberty everywhere, but we are the guardians only of our own, and we do not impose our ways on others: we only insist that they not try to impose their ways on us. Americans best export liberty by preserving our own.

#2 In 2008 a high ranking Gaddafi regime element expressed his desire to annihilate a Western European nation with nuclear weapons.

Gaddafi himself called for Jihad against the same nation, i.e. he announced Libyan sponsored terror attacks.

That's hardly 'trying to be friendly.'

When Arab-Muslim tyrants are telling us that they want to kill us we should take them seriously, and maybe heed the lesson of the parable of the 'The Scorpion and the Frog.'

I do believe that NATO air power should be used to destroy Gaddafi's forces and, if possible to kill him and his clan.

We should do so for our sakes, to retaliate for decades of lethal Libyan aggression. To show the world that attacks on the West are a deadly mistake.
If the rebels are good guys the will reap a collateral benefit, if not they will have witnessed a demonstration of power and will know better than to attack the West.

The practice of forgiving, appeasing and rewarding unrepentant aggressors like Gaddafi or the Taliban is putting us all in grave danger.

Of course with BHO in the White House nothing will be done so this is just a pointless rant.
