Uganda Offers Asylum to Qaddafi, Then Denies It
"So we have soft spots for asylum seekers. Gadhafi would be allowed to live here if he chooses to do so."

---Tamale Mirundi, the spokesperson for Uganda President Yoweri Museveni, reported by the AP. Museveni later dismissed the reports as "utter rubbish", according to Uganda paper, The Daily Monitor.

The AP asserts that an "intense diplomatic effort" is underway to find a place for Qaddafi to seek asylum as the NATO coalition continues to intervene in Libya.

#1 Where can you go when you've gone too far? I'm thinking it would be cost effective to set up some sort of Euro-Disney theme park for soon-to-be-retired dictators. Gives them a viable exit strategy, and cheaper than mounting 'kinetic operations' to encourage them to leave.
