#1 "...his arrest and a diplomatic schism between Switzerland and Libya"

It also involved threats of WMD genocide against Europe, threats of Jihad (i.e. state sponsored terror attacks against Switzerland), hostage taking, credible threats to storm the Swiss embassy etc.

If the Pakistanis observed this affair they might have gotten the idea that disregard for diplomatic law carries no penalty.

Back then, a US diplomat mildly mocked Gaddafi. The Libyans were furious, demanded an apology. And the promptly got their apology.

And yes, the integrity of a Swiss embassy in an Arab/Muslim country is a direct concern of the US. Switzerland is currently representing the US in Iran.

Still, history works in mysterious ways, and justice might still prevail, which in Hannibal Gaddafi's case would involve hard-assed Hizbullies, pliers and a blowtorch.

Time to eliminate this threat. Shouldn't be all that difficult but on the other hand, if BO is impotent to make a decision about Somali pirates--doubtful he will doing anything but examine his options until the Libyan people take care of their festering problem.
