Mabe so but my sense is that Egypt has bigger implications than Libya because of the Suez Canal. And as I understand it sanctions against Libya are mostly symbolic because they are reasonably self sufficient and its not like their main export, oil, is flowing anyway. I just find it strange that he was so quick to jump on the bandwagon with ousting Mubarak (ostensibly an ally, albeit a paid for one) but has been so reticent with Ghadafi (our enemy and the instigator of Lockerbie).

While there may be other reasonable explanations does it not distrubingly fit into the trend of antagonizing our friends and embracing our enemies that we see over and over with this administration? At least he only warmly shook hands with Ghadafi but didn't bow to him.
