LÍBIA — VERBAL BROADSIDES

Há quem sonhe alto e espere norte-americanices impossíveis da parte de certos europeus: «It's time for one of the Libya's European neighbors, France or Italy, to step up to the plate. It's easy enough for President Nicolas Sarkozy ro fire verbal broadsides in the direction of Tripoli, and Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi to express anxiety over a possible influx of Libyan refugees on Italian shores. But which one of them will have the courage to put their planes in the air over Libya, risking dogfights with Gaddafi's jets or his antiaircraft batteries?» Bobby Ghosh
