You know, in the past few years we've "forgiven" Kadafi for all his sins. I have no idea how much aid we have given to Libya since then or the nature of such. I've always felt that sanctions are largely a diplomatic nod, because when we get to the point of sanctions, things are already bad.
The only remotely reasonable explanation I can think of, is that we have intel and are trying very hard not to antagonize them. Or maybe we've trying not to antagonize Kadafi, for fear he will use worse measure on the people. I understand that he has mustard gas at least, and possibly other chemical weapons. Not sure what role, Saudi may be playing behind the scenes, if they are at all. It probably would have to stay behind the scenes too, for fear of creating riots in the Kingdom.

Just saw a news blip that says "Obama says Kadafi must leave". ????
