Enforcing a No Fly Zone

There’s some talk about enforcing a no fly zone in Libya, but this is not an easy thing. You might think you just put up a couple signs saying, “Don’t fly here,” but then people flying overhead will say they didn’t seem them. So instead you get some flying signs that hover in midair and put them up in the sky, but it’s hard to get full coverage of the sky as people will just say they were flying too high or too low to see them. You could just put more flying signs in the sky at different heights, but I can only assume flying signs are really expensive if not completely made up (I know I’ve seen them somewhere, but it may have been the Jetsons and Futurama).

A better idea for a no fly zone are dinosaurs with surface to air missiles mounted on their backs. No one can claim they didn’t know that dinosaurs were deployed to their country as that’s the sort of news that gets around. The only problem is they may also enforce a no walking zone as they could eat people.

Peace in the Middle East is complicated!

  1. Frank wrote about no flies?

    So did John Lennon

    There were no flies on Frank that morning – after all why not? He was a responsible citizen with a wife and child, wasn’t he? It was a typical Frank morning and with an agility that defies description he leapt into the bathroom onto the scales. To his great harold he discovered he was twelve inches more tall heavy! He couldn’t believe it and his blood raised to his head, causing a mighty red colouring. …

    I’m sure there’s a connection.

  2. How hard could it really be to enforce a ‘no fly zone’ over Libya? I mean their airforce is some guy with an old crop duster and its not like any commercial planes are there. We could do it in 20mins with The USS Ronald Reagan.

  3. Why should we do anything? If some one must interfere in Libya let the Europeans take responsibility for the situation, let them do it. After all, they’re the ones who get most of the Libyan oil not us. Why expend any American lives or treasure in another adventure in another miserable third world Islamic crap hole? Let the Libyans earn their freedom the old fashioned way…by fighting and dying for it themselves.
