#3 I believe the appropriate line is -

We already know what you are, we're just negotiating the price.

#4 No need to read the rest of it. Just remember that Gaddafy has ever been much friendlier to Soviet Union and the left than to the United States and the Right. Just remember that when Reagan tried to bomb him out, socialist governments in Europe vetoed the US planes netry of their space that some of them had mechanical problems and had to abort mission without releasing their bombs, that had they been able to take a shorter route Khadaffi would have been killed over twenty five years ago. That is what we knew but that is not all: minister of Foreign Affairs of former French president Mitterrand has revealed that Mitterrand told Khaddaffi about the incoming raid.

And that is not all, let's remember how those who are faulting us for Khaddaffi did their utmost to save Saddam Hussein a dictator who maes Khadafio a nice man by comparison.

#5 Certainly money plays a role, as we have seen from the principled and nuanced objections of our euroWeenie betters to whacking Saddam; objections that turned out to consist mainly of having a nice juicy piece of the Oil For Palaces pie. But has there been *any* hero of Left in the past century or so who does not have a huge pile of corpses to his credit, who has not afflicted economic misery on his fellow citizens based on some fatally flawed theory, who has not built up a brutal network of secret police and enforcers to remain in power?

It is not surprising that entertainers fall under the spell of these theatrical "men of the people" but that Western intellectuals (/mega-snort!) not only swallow but promote this rotten nonsense is nearly beyond belief.
