If the U.S. would have joined Qatar and France and other countries would have come along and recognizing this provisional government, I think it would send a very, very powerful message to the people around Gadhafi that the end is coming.
I think it is so striking that this man, who sent other people to commit suicide to kill innocent people, was caught in hiding while we have brave civilians in Libya who are risking their lives, not to kill people but to set people free.
The goal is to enable Syrians to fight for their country so that we aren't stuck with a problem later on.
Honestly, I think 100,000 people being slaughtered and doing nothing is a red line.
