What perception? Sit in the middle of the road, sing a song and throw flowers, whilst life sails by. Sorry it is not as easy as that. There is such a thing as collective guilt. And if you’re into Biblical references, as so many people in Malta seem to be, Jesus Christ threw the traders out of the temple and flung their stalls after them. He did not ask them nicely to please leave.

No solutions in lieu of flinging missiles? I’m disappointed though not entirely surprised.

The abuse was hurled at you, kev, because you deserve it due to your insensitivity to innocent people getting brutally murdered. Nothing else. And no abuse before that either.

Get your numbers right, Kev. Around 150 missiles were fired, not “hundreds”. And a grand total of five armoured vehicles were destroyed.

I’m afraid I’m going to have to disappoint you.

I’ll quote Daphne on this: “I cannot allow this website to be turned into the equivalent of a bar-room brawl between two people. If you want to carry on arguing, take it elsewhere. It gets boring for everyone else.”

So there you have it. And all I did was figure out who was hiding behind ‘willywonka’. Wonka, of course, hurled lots of abuse at me – hence the ‘brawl’. That is something I never did.

Au revoir, people. Time to let you play your war games in peace.

“More than 72 hours after hundreds of missiles were fired into Libya, Gaddafi’s forward march continues, albeit slower.”

Missiles and a a strict no-fly zone do not take out a land army’s capability to act. Targeting armor assets which the French did reduces the conflict to a small arms and heavy machine gun urban war zone. It is not an ideal solution.

From a purely body count cynical perspective, it is better to put enough professional boots on the ground and wipe out Ghaddafi and his forces.

However, I am interested in Kev’s solution on how to stop and ultimately remove Ghaddafi effectively without military force. Feel free to add your solution as well.

I disagree with La Redoute. Without chaps like Kev & KMB our freedom of speech would be very boring.

Terribly sorry I wasn’t in, but you’ll have your answers by tomorrow.

Hang on there. The good wind blows. This is our noblest crusade.

Extra’s for him include free residence (and food) in an asylum. Dental fees are not included

Kev doesn’t have an answer to that question. He prefers to fire missiles and then see what happens.
