Abstract:
The West cannot afford ''business as usual" with Colonel Qaddafi. Libyan adventurism should be contained by military and economic aid to North African states vulnerable to coercive Libyan pressures. Libya should be quarantined economically to reduce its mischief-making capabilities and to underscore to the Libyan
people the real costs of Qaddafi's erratic aggressions. With Washington's encouragement, Qaddafi's downfall can be accelerated.
