Civilians can't claim that they still are civilians If Colonel Qaddafi has foolishly armed them. Wayne LaPierre would be more than delighted, But it's hardly a good human shield stratagem. Did Qaddafi imagine that he'd scare us off If he gave every grown-up and kiddie a gun? Is he not aware of Jan Brewer's debacle Where the governor figured more guns meant more fun? Maybe they will if most people hold grudges. Do all sons-in-law hate their mothers-in-law? The Colonel would probably welcome the carnage Unless the old ladies are too quick on the draw. But small arms fire's usually not all that effective. Versus French fighter jets it is not of much use. And now with this big human shield complication Colonel Qaddafi may have cooked his own goose. We didn't believe his cease-fire pronouncements. But what if we choose to believe his threats to arm Loyal civilians who wish to protect him? Militias won't shield him from buying the farm.
