"The question is -- is can we shorten those number of days to save lives, to save people's lives because it's clear he's going to kill whoever he thinks he can in order to stay in power."

This is a civil war and none of our business.

McCain is afraid that Ghaddafi will defeat the rebels and prevent the Islamic theocracy ala Iran that would follow him. Why do the statists in America want Islamic clerical tyranny in the Middle East and North Africa?

... Why do the statists in America want Islamic clerical tyranny in the Middle East and North Africa?

The statists / globalists / crony capitalists / fascists who are aggressively pushing us all to a New World Order under which ever aspect of our lives will be regulated by a central authority 'for our own good' have a lot in common with an Islamic theocracy in their goals and methods. They both want us to revert back to the middle ages where the elite get 99.99% of the stuff and the peons who survive scrabble over what's left. IMHO we have been moving into a fascist model in which we we are allowed to retain the illusion of private ownership and freedom.
