#1 Steyn is on his game.
Say what you like about Barack Obama, but its rare to find a leader so impeccably multilateralist hes willing to participate in both sides of a war. It doesnt exactly do much for holding it under budget, but it does ensure that for once weve got a sporting chance of coming out on the winning side. If a coalition plane bombing Qaddafis forces runs into a coalition plane bombing the rebel forces, are they allowed to open fire on each other? Or would that exceed the U.N. resolution?

But after reading that, my question is: Why bother in the first place? The Arabs outside Libya don't seem to care enough to get involved. The Egyptian and Saudi air forces would be the most capable to get involved. If they don't care, why should we?
