Or yet again, the Ivory Coast President lost the elections but refuses to go and is killing people by the dozens pretty much every day, where is the international community?

It seems pretty strange that the UK and France that were real bed fellows with Qaddafi are in such a hurry to take him out. Poor Qaddafi must be thinking why the international community did not act in such haste with Saddam? Maybe the UK and France want to make sure know one knows about all of the shady deals they had with Libya...
