Übergeek 바둑이: What guarantee is there he will be replaced by another dictator? It might be that at least with this 'battle' the peoples revolt might actually work!! It would be worse if the NATO forces left the rebels to one like Ghaddafi? Do you remember the Iraqi uprising that was encouraged by the west and then let down in terms of logistical support? Saddam massacred the rebels.
I know Saudi Arabia is going through it's revolution and people are and will be killed, detained, etc... Unfortunately we have 'Iraq', North Korea amongst others which have drained Trillions of $ and tied up a fair proportion of troops.
I don't see no magic wand suddenly ending those commitments.
As one friend once said.. it's like peeling an onion with a strawberry at the middle.
