8. Good question Sid

but as everyone must admit, there *will* be collateral damage. Innocents will likely die. How do we balance the equation? Is a "humanitarian intervention" worth it if we ultimately kill more people than Gaddafi? You tell me.

7. Safe & comfortable?? But, Gaddafi's Navy is ready to invade Miami!!

Oh, wait, that's another of our favorite bogeymen, Fidel. Or, maybe it's the Taliban's navy..or, Chavez's nuclear submarines..
