last time I checked we didn´t prop him up...but that doesn´t mean it's our business to take him down either....specially with no clear net gain from it.
with everything that has been going wrong lately Europe has it's plate more than full....an X factor right now in northern Africa is not a big advantage over the status quo in this case in my perspective
is it better for the Libyan people? maybe, maybe not, too soon to tell, but the concerns of the Libyan people in my list of concerns come in on page 34, right after "are we eating too much garlic as a people?" so whatever
