#5 I'm surprised Saleh went back to Yemen.

I thought he'd go into retirement in SA.

Not too long before the Red Sea only transitable by armed convoys.

#6 It's the strangest thing about some of these characters. They might have a chance for survival if they would just take their money and leave. But they choose to stick it out and keep fighting to the bitter end.

As for Daffy, I have mixed feelings. I won't lose any sleep over his demise. But the way NATO has gone about it raises a lot of questions. It's kinda like the devil you know and the devil you don't know.

#7 If they didn't have that sort of stubborn stick-to-it-iveness, they wouldn't have had the drive to become dictators in the first place. It's self-selection in action.

#8 I'm not sure I like the way Nato did it, but I like it a lot more than the way we did Afghanistan. Now Nato can go to work on pencilneck.

#9 By 'NATO' I take it you mean 'by the US using expensive weapons and expertise, while Sarkozy and Merkel take credit - after the success'.
