#1 "Can you imagine, if I give you this person's name and his head were to be cut off the next day?"

Oh, that lovely laconic Russian realism. Gotta love it.

#4 If Gaddafi stays, he competes with Russia to control oil supplies to the Euros. If Libya descends into chaos, oil prices go up and Putin's bid for re-election is that much shinier ....

#5 Plus, if the Russians help Daffy to land somewhere halfway reasonable, he and his clan, his tribe, and his supporters can be counted on to take their money with them. That means that Russia will be getting all sorts of new weapons orders from the new Daffy compound and the local government, that will be paid in hard currencies. And most of the stuff that will be ordered will be the older stuff that most countries are not buying nowadays, and that keeps the ammunition and parts orders rolling in for the Russian factories.

Oh, yes, I can imagine that about a lot of ~~dictators~~ people. Unfortunately, I keep imagining, and it keeps not happening. >:-(

can you name a western civilization country where this would be a concern? Sounds like an Islamo-Culture issue of non-civilized behavior. Animals?
