	I see no reason to assume that WWIII would be a direct result of
      Reagan's actions. In fact, the USSR had pulled some of their personnel
      and all of their naval vessels out of Libya. Looks like an attempt at
      avoidance to me...

	I think that your comparison is faulty at best. The issue had nothing
      to do with a crime committed by an average citizen, but instead a pre-
      meditated policy of criminal, terroristic acts aided and abetted by 
      a nation and its government. Such actions DO make Reagan's response a
      called-for action.

	However, why hasn't Reagan ordered strikes against Iran and Syria,
      which have been in the business longer and have killed more American
      civilians than Qadaffi's underlings. Iran should have been hit HARD
      right after the hostages were released way back when; the reason be-
      hind the lack of action is that Reagan's cronies do business with both
      Iran and Syria...

                                            Keep 'em flyin'
