	I never said anything about lives not being saved, so I don't know why you're trying to argue that point with me. If there were clear goals and effective leadership, maybe they would have acted a month ago and saved thousands of lives and stopped Khadafy from importing mercenaries and weapons.  <br />
	<br />
	But there I go again with my 'abstract' concerns.</div></blockquote>
	<br />
	Yeah, there you go again.<br />
	<br />
	You know who had "clear goals" and "effective leadership"?  Hitler, when he invaded Poland in 1939.  How'd that work out for everyone concerned?<br />
	<br />
	How common are wars where a soldier can set the alarm on his Blackberry ahead of time to go off at the end of his deployment, anyway?  I'm unfamiliar with this sort of conflict.  <br />
	<br />
	People can't even get record reissues out on schedule and yet they expect wars to be run on timetables by omniscient overseers.</div></blockquote>
	<br />
	So...<br />
	<br />
	Wars are best fought with nobody in command, for no particular reason and no way of knowing when it's over. Otherwise, it's like Hitler all over again.<br />
	<br />
	Gotcha.</div></blockquote>
	<br />
	No, that's not it.  But he was in charge and had a clear goal, so I figured you'd approve of his operation.<br />
	<br />
	I was using your own stated criteria, so I don't see where your complaint lies.
