Tricky
VDH on conservative reticence on Libya.
It should go without saying, the only acceptable outcome once bombing begins is to remove Khaddafy. The portion of Obama's speech I listened to said as much. Now there is some discussion about ending the bombing soon just to provide a no-fly zone. This doesn't really make sense. I suppose they are making the argument the no-fly zone was to prevent an imminent genocide and not to remove Khaddafy. Maybe. But I find this slippery logic rather confusing. If Khaddafy is guilty of planning a genocide, he ought to be treated like Milosevic - someone who needs to be brought forward in front of the world and tried. Also - why are the Germans and Turks against this, but the Arabs, France, and GB for it? Need to do some more reading...
