FAO Quotables

"But being right, even morally right, isn't everything. It is also important to be competent, to be consistent, and to be knowledgeable. It's important for your soldiers and diplomats to speak the language of the people you want to influence. It's important to understand the ethnic and tribal divisions of the place you hope to assist."

On a No Fly Zone

See my previous post for further explanation but the bottom line is:
A no fly zone will require bombs being dropped to knock out key Qaddafi air defense assets.  I don't agree that the US should lead the NFZ effort, and regardless of how that turns out, it should be arab allied jets flying those missions and dropping those bombs.  Let Saudi Arabia take the lead here.
