#4 You have to ask yourself: What Would Bush Do? But sadly I think the chance to kick Momo to the curb may have past Momo brought in some foreign fighters to keep the rebels busy while he got his personal army together (his sons each have a private army as well). You can cheer for the rebels (and really I do), but they are about to be pounded into dust.

#5 If Gaddafi survives there will not be a return to the Status Quo Ante(*). Gaddafi will first massacre his domestic enemies while the west looks on and then he will organize terror attacks on the US and Europe as he did in the past.

Sarkozy is alone in calling for air strikes that would neutralize Gaddafi, but the West is unanimous in calling on Gaddafi to resign.

Provoking Gaddafi's wrath while simultaneously signaling military impotence is not really a sound political strategy. That's a recipe for disaster.

(*) The 'Status Quo Ante' was Gaddafi explicitly rejecting the terms of his rehabilitation 'on good behavior' (see Lockerbie bomber release and Swiss hostages.) Even without the rebellion he was returning to his old persona.
