This is just plain silly. If Libya were closer to the US, or if these terrorist actions were happening in the US, we would have attacked *long* ago, and probably would have rid the world of Qaddaffi very quickly indeed. Just because Europeans quake and quiver with fear from a blowhard bully, don't think for a minute that Americans are such wimps. The only reason we haven't done more against Libya is because we're so far away that Qaddafi's actions don't affect us enough to *really* piss us off. If you don't like getting your people blown up, why don't *you* do something about it? Bah!! --MKR "There's nothing wrong with shooting, as long as the right people get shot." -"Dirty" Harry Callahan
