Wait wait, German foreign carricature Guido Westerwelle has the solution: he said that a political solution is needed! That would end the use of cluster bombs!

One observation: when NATO needlessly took over all command from the french and British, the pace aof the air campagin immediately slowed down, giving Gaddafi's forces the time and opportunity to take a break, have a deep breathe, reorganise, rethink their tactics and change them, use pickups instead of tanks, and then striking back with more force than before. In order to have Guido the Great's political solution, the Gaddafi side must remain intact, else you have no negotiation partner.

Mann, ist der clever, unser Guido!

The 1 million dollar question now is: what is NATO doing different, and why? Could it be that some political experts and concerned Gutmenschen, if not even some idiots willing to leave Gaddafi in power, have messed it up ONCE AGAIN?

However, German media reported that refugees from Lybia reported that rebels have executed randomply civilians in the streets, by beheading. After a rebel commander'S confession that he has Al Quaeda fighters under his command some time agao, this is the second hint that maybe we have no reason to be uncertain about the nature of the rebel forces anymore(with this uncertainty - and chance for somebody better coming to power - having been my only argtument to support the air strikes being launched). I also miss any signal or vision coming from the rebel side what they wish to install after the regime, and what their poltical goals and tools will be.

In other words, as I havew said from, beginning on, I take into account that maybe I will need to u-turn on this issue indeed. But as long as we have not been are not fully clear about the rebels, I still think it was worth to take the chance.
