I agree with you. But shouldn’t Qaddafi be eliminated, now that we have the best chance in a quarter of a century? Think of it. This mad dog has been in power almost four times the amount of Hitler. If we don’t get rid of him now, I don’t think that we’ll have another opportunity.
I don't like the looks of the alternative either. The rebels do not sound promising. Are we getting into another Iraq with car bombs, suicide attacks, school bus bombing... Al Qaeda is in Libya... that's why Gadaffi has had assassination attempts against him many time by Al Qaeda they want control of Libya.
Let the CIA/Mossad handle the disposal of Ghadaffi, and the Libyan people handle the aftermath.
