Dave, your post makes no sense at all. Khadafy has been murdering people
for 15 years now, at an escalating rate. He furnishes arms to the Sandanistas.
He backs the IRA. Abu Nidal is on his payroll. At the time of our attack, he
had a massive strike against the U.S. planned on a worldwide scale. The point 
is, we HAD to do SOMETHING. If we had let him go through with his plans, 
hundreds, maybe even thousands of Americans would have been killed, with more
to come. So WHAT if a few Libyan civvies were killed. We didn't go over there
for the SPECIFIC  PURPOSE of killing civilians, unlike Khadafy, who targets
only the most helpless (such as mild-mannered old librarians, two-week old
babies, and people buying tickets in airplane terminals), and then laughs over
their corpses and says "more to come." 

We are in Nicaragua for one reason only: to prevent a Soviet-backed regime on
the American mainland. The opinion of the Nicaraguan populace, etc., is really
immaterial. That situation could not be tolerated, PERIOD. Get real.
