I think it is simply that when ‘the rest of the world’ does something about such things it gets hammered by the rest of the rest of the world. Which is of course exactly what will happen even if they don’t.

It is probably a cruel thing to say but there would be a ‘positive’ side to such terrorist attacks – it would get the US to do something about it, just as they have done previously, except that this time they wouldn’t necessarily bungle it.

Yeah right, the most important thing is the business assets ‘we’ have. Never mind the people that are being killed – they aren’t Maltese after all so they don’t matter.

I despair to think that people can even think in this way – or perhaps they are not thinking at all.

Silvio, I assume the ‘canny’ Maltese have their investments hedged and well insured. However, I will look for the Maltese Cross on the roof tops of their hotels and attempt to avoid any collateral damage.

BTW, was told today that ‘frustrated is good’, ‘sad’ is bad.

Could you give me the coordinates of your company’s office in Tripoli?

“please take note of the many buisness investments, we have there, and try not to hit any of them.”

Do you think Gadaffi will?

“People want action here and now, when there is more to it”.

The catch phrase is: there is more to it.

I am hoping that there is a definite plan in place and that US forces will act when most of Gaddafi’s elite army leaves Tripoli in order to attack Benghazi.

I hope that my brain is in sync with my heart.

In any case, going by the West’s inaction thus far, I decided not to hold my breath.

So first i was a SAD” man, now you say you are “FRUSTRATED” not good at all. By the way ,if you decide to take one of the mirage planes and bomb the monster,please take note of the many buisness investments, we have there, and try not to hit any of them.

I share the same view. People want action here and now, when there is more to it. But the Libyans will be vindicated. And the best possible outcome is when the henchman is put to his land’s justice.
