[Tom Hansen]

As President Obama suggested yesterday, each situation is unique,

There is no standard response that applies to all predicaments.

More importantly, the questions become:

How much would we be willing to sacrifice in an intervention?

Does the ends justify the means?

Command and control of the coalition's involvement in the hostilities in
Libya will become NATO's responsibility on Wednesday . . . as it should
be; no 8-year bloodbath whose goal is undefined.
