I'm inclined to think that jumping into any endeavour with both feet is unwise, unless of course you are aiming for the long or triple jump gold medal.
The recent acceleration of the 'coalition' from wait a minute to chocks away gung-ho in Libya suggests two things:
1. Either they have cobbled together a strategy on the back of an envelope or by sending faxes to each other (no emails since Wikileaks) over a few short hours and, worryingly, have engaged in a full on military action without really thinking it through.
or
2. The plan was already in place and now was the opportunity to enact it.
Either option is somewhat disturbing. There seem to be few answers emerging from the fog of war.
