Oh, if only Sarkozy had taken Qadaffi on a date to EuroDisney. They could have ridden the "It's a Small World" together (C'est un petit monde, no?), and giggled while they each tried on mouse ears.

The American stance vis-a-vis Qadaffi hasn't been so solid over the last few years either; unfortunately since he gave in to giving up his weapons programs and opened himself up to inspections it seems as if he is supposed to be the "success story." And yet if nothing else it illustrates the ultimate short comings in cozying up the dictators of the world, no matter of what stripe.
