1. Yup!
Shimon ,   Cincinnati, USA   (10.21.08)
ANYTHING to cause fear in someone else, but NOTHING to improve the lot of your people. Very humane! Nobel Peace Prize material.

The Georgian test case has provided Putin with all the incentive that he needs. Putin will not suffice himself with Georgia. The Georgian test case has provided him with all the incentive that he needs. We do not yet know exactly where or when the next eruption will occur. But if Obama wins the US elections and the process of disintegration there continues, the new Russian bully will feel confident enough to initiate more wars. Does Russia present a direct threat to Israel? It is possible that Russia will begin to expand in our direction. That is a most undesirable eventuality – but if it happens, it will not be the first time. Israeli pilots have already waged air skirmishes against Soviet pilots who defended Egyptian skies during the War of Attrition. The Israeli pilots even downed a number of Russian piloted planes. Israel is not Georgia and the Russians know that. More about Russian politics and the Middle East at : http://xrl.us/oq2y9
3. The red Bear.
Walt K ,   Sherbrooke, Canada   (10.21.08)
Italia paid 4 Billions to Lybia for the colonialism era and ... a big part of the jackpot will finish in the stomach of the bear... who helps, in counterpart, ennemies of Israel and the USA to be military stronger.
4. Maybe bush looked into kadafi's eyes and saw good there too.

5. The Results of Condi's diplomacy
Mark ,   Boston   (10.21.08)
Condi comes to the region and have diplomatic relations with Libya and Libya goes back to its old militant warlike ways. Condi failed, once again.
6. Robert #2. Spot on! The next place Puttin would love to...
Stewart ,   U.S.A.   (10.21.08)
pull something off is with Chavez in Venuzuela. The Russian's are hopping to conduct a military execise with Venuzuela. Venuzuela would love to get its paws on Cuba once Castro is gone. This is pretty dangerous stuff since it is right in our backyard. It would be like another Cuba missle crisis if it goes to far and gets out of hand. Only an unseasoned fool like Obama will put up with this and try to talk his way out of it. If Obama gets in, we might as well have Neville Chamberlin running the country. Puttin is going to bully Obama around at every chance he gets.
7. What's Libya trying to defend itself from?

8. #7 Israel doesn't hold Musa al-Sadr
observer   (10.21.08)
theoretically, Nasrallah's rockets can reach any place in Israel. But, it's, unfortunately, Libya which is accused by Nasrallah to hold Musa aṣ-Ṣadr, for tens of years. So, Libya has to worry if Nasrallah demand prisoners swap because Hezbullah keeps no Libyan captive. The problem is that Libya might receive a hail of rockets in exchange for the Shiete leader Musa aṣ-Ṣadr . In August 1978, aṣ-Ṣadr and two companions departed for Libya to meet with government officials. The three were never heard of again. Lebanese Siites claimed that the Libyan regime, and particularly the Libyan leader, were responsible for the disappearance of Imam Musa Sadr.
9. Watch Libya
Steve G ,   Florence, AZ   (10.22.08)
Brothers and sisters of Israel: Watch what will happen to Libya along with Russia, Iran and others. Read Ezekiel 38 & 39. Read your bibles. MARANATHA!!!! SHALOM!!!!!
