The dominos are wobbling all over the MIddle East thanks to the uprisings. If West simply withdrew its support from all the repressive regimes in the regime in the region one of the fallen dominos would surely be Gaddafi.

It certainly seems reasonable to think that those reading and posting here will agree on preventing a widening of the US/UN intervention.  Some will, for tactical reasons, support limited intervention in the hope that it will create breathing...

Perhaps they wouldn't have "overrun" it right away. Perhaps they would have just shelled it and bombarded it from the air for a couple of weeks and starved it and cut off all power.  While you stood by and defended Gaddafis sov...
