Unlike the UConn basketball game, with Libya we have no idea who the “sides” are, or even how many “sides” there are. So, to add to your list of questions which should have been considered pre-game, we can also add: how many “teams” currently comprise the rebels, who are these “teams”, who, ultimately, will own the spoils of the war and neither last nor least, how might those spoils be used to the disadvantage of the United States. Going back to March Madness, I am envisioning a game in which we do not know who the teams are, who the players are, where the game is held and what will be done with the ball when the game is over. In fact, all we do know is that there are 40 female bodyguards, trained in martial arts and firearms, surrounding the stadium.
