ace,

I think you quoted the wrong post of mine.

I do agree with dux and rb that NATO and the Arab League have been clear that they want Qaddafi gone.

I believe that China and Russia would have vetoed any UN resolution which included a fate for Qaddafi.

I believe that the resolution's language stating "protect civilians and civilian areas targeted by [Qaddafi]" is broad enough to imply, "you can bomb every tank you see near a house." That provides quite a bit of latitude.

As an aside, I would implore the two of you to resist the personal comments. As a reader, it becomes increasingly more difficult to get to the substance of your arguments because of the mixing with non-substantive observations about each other's character. You both have worthwhile and opposing viewpoints. It's a shame it is becoming so much more difficult to consume them. I find myself skipping, perhaps something of value. You can do as you will, I'm just asking politely...
