The impression I got Ryan Send a noteboard - 21/03/2011 04:14:57 PM
Was that it was now or never. I think for all diplomatic reasons the west was willing to wait on the AL, if they could, but they had to play into the hands of Ghadaffi. The man made a gamble, and the west reacted. Plain and simple.

The past is just that, the past. You can only truly live by looking to the future!

It's not about "legitimacy" so much as it is about, to use the ugly word, propaganda. Legolas - 21/03/2011 10:33:12 PM 581 Views
The only support I've seen Qaddhafi get is from the rogues gallery of world pariahs. Tom - 21/03/2011 11:01:54 PM 690 Views
