Sig line.

Why not just partition the country? Most African and Middle Eastern countries are artificial colonialist constructs anyway, so it's probably the best solution in the long run...Originally posted by dannubis View Post
Doesn't have to be official, just de facto once Gaddafi gets tired of losing his armour to coalition airstrikes and the rebels wake up to reality and realise they can't take him on in a direct fight offensively.Comment

Realistically it could last years, in one capacity or another, if Gaddafi isn't toppled beforehand. I would imagine probably a few more days of major operations (i.e. blowing stuff up), which are already winding down, followed by a few weeks or months of fairly heavy policing of the no-fly zone, then probably the allies just sending their planes over Libyan airspace than their own for the routine flights that all air forces have to fly...Originally posted by C0ckney View Post
I'm thinking of Iraqi Kurdistan as a model, but obviously closer to home.

A Canadian General is now leading the campaign in Libya.

i agree it could drag on for years, and what will happen during those years, the fighting will go on and people will continue to be killed. as we speak there are reports of gaddafi arming more 'volunteers'. obviously it's hard to predict how the war will develop in the longer term, but to say that peace will break out due to some airstrikes seems supremely optimistic.Originally posted by MOBIUS View PostRealistically it could last years, in one capacity or another, if Gaddafi isn't toppled beforehand.

I did it for you.The Libya flag was officially adopted in 1977, and remains the only national flag using a single color.
The flag was said to represent the nation's hope for a green revolution in agriculture.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

This is a strong statement from a poster who praised the Brotherhood, all the while ignoring:Originally posted by C0ckney View Post
--Its explicit denial of the Holocaust--indicative of a desire to wipe out Jews altogether, not to mention other "undesirables";
--Its explicit belief in a conspiracy theory (Protocols of Zion) which posits that democracy is (of all things) a Jewish conspiracy;
--Its explicit denial of the right to free speech--express support for blasphemy laws that effectively lead to the killing of political opponents;
--Its explicit opposition to women in places of high political office, including the office of President;
--Its explicit support and sympathy for the Iranian system of government (a form of tyranny)
--Its explicit support for a socialist economic system (refer to the works of their founding members--socialism, in their view, has it wrong not because of the economic model it adopts but because it is atheist and not Islamic)--leading to the concentration of power in the state, and inevitable tyranny.
--Its assassination of several quasi-democratic Egyptian political leaders, including the Egyptian prime minister, in the only time that Egypt was ruled by anything close to a democracy, that is, before Nasser's coup in 1952.
In view of all this, I am stunned that you believe the Brotherhood is anything other than a sick, violent religious cult.Last edited by Zevico; March 26, 2011, 06:28."You say that it is your custom to burn widows.
