I think a no fly zone could increase American image in the region, if they really stressed and ensured that it was only to protect the protestors

But if we intervene, the US will definitely try and take control of the movement... its the american way.

Western countries are weighing up who�s gonna win, don�t want to take the wrong side and loose all that oil money.

Then worrying thing is, there�s nasty stuff like mustard gas in Gadgafi�s arsenal, and he�s would seem mad enough to use it especially in a "last stand" situation.

Whether those mannng these weapons will follow the orders is another question, apparently pilots have been missing targets on purpose from what one news report claimed.

That's good: it shows that the "mindless" military personnel are not so mindless. It's really tough to slaughter the very people you are supposed to protect.

Yeah, have the planes fly by with red white and blue smoke streaking past them as Kenny Logins blasts from airborne loud speakers.

Probably. If the Saudi Oil supply is disrupted there's really no way to compensate for it. Oil will shoot sky high.

or, we could stop buying oil from nations that murder people /shrug

quote:
With oil prices setting new highs in 2007, tax incentives were no longer necessary to encourage oil sands projects in Canada. In July of that year Royal Dutch Shell released its 2006 annual report and announced that its Canadian oil sands unit made an after tax profit of $21.75 per barrel, nearly double its worldwide profit of $12.41 per barrel on conventional crude oil.[22] A few days later Shell announced it had filed for regulatory approval to build a $27 billion oil sands refinery in Alberta, one of $38 billion in new oil sands projects announced that week.[23]

I'm well aware of the Canadian oil sands. It would take years to bring them to full production though. Disruption of the Saudi oil supply could send prices spiraling overnight. Even with the sands, Canada still lags behind you know who in proven reserves.
