In my Alternative Energy post last night and several other posts, I talked a bit about why despotic autocrats have led the middle east for so long. To sum it up, the middle east and the borders that were seemingly drawn up arbitrarily by th UN (League of Nations) created enourmous ethnic, tribal and religous tensions and only "iron fist"rulers that essentially terrorized the population by violence could keep these countries intact.
Well today our Defense Secretary, Robert Gates, threw the Europeans another curveball. The inconsistincies within the US administration are stunning. His statement, "US Defence Secretary Robert Gates says getting rid of Gaddafi is 'unwise'".
We know why, but this has got to be getting old for coalition members.
