Coyne v. Wells on the uprising in Libya

Should western leaders have dealt with Gadhafi in the past? Also: why the Tories have pulled ahead in the polls

    If Mr. Coyne's argument re: a certain group of voters always pulling back when it starts to look like the Tories might get a majority (which could also explain four polls showing a double digit Tory lead being immediately followed by a poll showing their lead at only 5%) would this not also suggest that the Tories may have indeed reached their ceiling, somewhere in the high 30s?

    Killer wallpaper Wells.

    Al Jazeera. Facebook. Twitter. Mobile phones. Internet. Satellite tv. Foreign investment.

    In these countries, far more profound impact than NGOs or declarations of /isolation by western countries, I'd argue.

      I'd concur, Dot.

    Would of been cool to hear more Wells. And less Coyne interrupting Paul, every time Paul was trying to talk. But Paul's facial expressions where kinda funny..

    Cool pic in the background of Wells…

    Still it would of been better if Coyne did less rambling.

    A short while ago I thought I heard the PM saying that Canada was considering a wide range of responses to the deaths in Lybia – I thought "That sounds reasonable."

    This range of options includes unilateral or multilateral embargoes, and apparently we are also considering an arms embargo – I thought "WTH? Why would an arms embargo not already be in place?"
