Libya is 200 years late.
I just hope the Libyan one could be so much less bloody.

They are losing two key oil towns due to inferior arms and raids by the Gaddafi soldiers.

The EU, UN and NATO should get off their rear end and intervene before the protesters lose much more ground.

Better to concentrate on ferreting out Gaddafi from his stronghold in Tripoli than having to hunt him down in all nooks and crannies all over Libya.

Why does Osama Bin Laden come to mind?

Yanika, yes, I’m afraid that would be asking too much. While others take firm stands, we’re still pussyfooting around, anxious to look ‘prudent’ and trying to have our cake and eat.

I`m sorry but with dictators and tyrants, appeasement is simply not on.
