Thread Name: BS: Bombing of Tripoli March-April, 2011
Subject: RE: BS: Bombing of Tripoli has just begun
Sorry you don't like evidence, LH. Thinking people tend to prefer it to a blanket statement with no support. Thought you might be interested. But perhaps not.
Look, Hitler was held by many Germans for many years in high esteem--and fear. At the end, it was just fear. And there was no future for his state. Exactly the same thing is happening to Gadhafi.
And the process would be expedited by a $10 million price on his head.
It would be a cheap investment for the West. Either somebody would carry out the mission--or Gadhafi's paranoia would increase--and steadily alienate more Libyans-until his removal. Probably soon.
It's always good to encourage paranoia in your opponents--(as long as they are not nuclear-armed. )
Tends to impair their judgment.
Meanwhile, the West should provide intelligence, weapons, and training to the insurgents.
And no ground troops.
As all sides agree.
