Shame on Italy, shame on France, shame on NATO, shame on the UN. They encouraged, built up hopes through diplomatic recognition, inspired the rebels and now as any fool (even me) could have predicted they are unwilling to commit to go full out to defeat Qaddafi, a man who is not going to roll over because of a few air strikes. Even the promised air strikes have all but ceased.
Prevent the death of innocent civilians, my rosy red ass. This half hearted effort will ensure the death of far more than if nothing had been done.
