Should be remembered that regime change in itself is specifically forbidden under the UN Charter. Would have to be proved that removing Qaddaffi was the only way to protect civilians from genocide, which is v. diff. in an international court no matter how obvious it appears to you, me and the dog.

Looks like the Arab League "dictators" (your choice as to what this means or who it includes) have realised they may be next. Arabs love talking about action, but actually taking it is something else.

Good luck to my old unit, now Typhoon equipped. Looking forward to "counting them all back in", and seeing the groundcrew heading out with the artist's paintbrushes.

Do wish the news wouldn't broadcast the take-off times.
