The mayor of a New Jersey town where Libyan leader Muammar al-Qaddafi plans to stay when he addresses the U.N. General Assembly next month says the "terrorist" should reconsider.

"This is an affront to the 33 families who live in New Jersey and lost their relatives because of him when they blew up Pan Am 103," Englewood Mayor Michael Wildes told FOXNews.com. "You can't buy that back. You can't give them their lives and memories back."

Here's one democrat I can support. At least on this issue.

Well done Mayor!

How about he save the speeches and “vows” to fight and instead simply squash it using his police force?

Let the Feds or Libyans try and make it happen by force or by writ.

How about a military training exercise has an accidental misfire and Qaddafi’s plane gets obliterated as it’s on approach to the U.S.?

Invite the fool over and then have a pre-written speech about what a tragedy it was that his airplane blew up before he could make it safely to his destination.

Threaten to arrest him for complicity in the murders of New Jersey citizens on the Pan Am flight and threaten to arrest any federal official who try to intervene to stop the arrest.

Wildes said police costs to provide security for Qaddafi at a Libyan-owned estate on Palisade Avenue would total at least $20,000 per day. And the Libyans "haven't paid a nickel in property taxes in over 30 years," Wildes said.

Here's one idea...offer no police protection. I'm guessing the Libyans will decide to go elsewhere if that's the case.

The US should just say that we cannot guarantee his security and safety and deny entry.

I say just deny him and his entourage visas, then when the UN complains explain we are no longer granting visas to those we deem to be terrorists or supporters of terrorism. Tell ‘em if they don’t like it they can move their headquarters to another country.

Personally, I am quite ready to have the UN pack up and go someplace else. We gain absolutely nothing by having them here. In fact, on the whole I see it as a negative.

Getting the UN out of America is another thing on my list of beliefs I want the person I support in 2012 to have as their own.

Let the good citizens with long memories handle the security.
