Perhaps a UN solution? If the UN can keep the Greeks and the Turks apart in Cyprus then separating the opposing forces in Libya shouldn't present too much of a problem ...?
Surely this cannot end up in yet another political mess where the effectiveness of military ops is compromised by general political incompetence? Too depressing for words
Mike, that is exactly what I said at serial 980 and it would seem that that is more or less what NATO is doing stopping both sides from flying. Certainlyif you don't want your tank plnked then keep it out of harms way.
