Not as bad or abhorrent an idea as it first seems.
It could be sensibly argued that one reason dictators (Gaddafi / Hussein) hang on till the bitter end, is that they have no choice, no get out route.
If saving innocent lives it what we are all really concerned with then offering these monsters a way out is actually the moral choice.
Providing of course the dictator in question is willing to take it.
So at risk of upsetting those who oppose for the sake of opposing...
Well done Dave, for having the courage to say this out loud. Let’s hope he takes you up on it.
After all what is the alternative? Let the slaughter continue? Intervene?
