He has killed too many

As the death toll reaches 1,000, the UN takes a stand against Qathafi. According to latest reports Bin `Ali killed 219 people and Mubarak 384 people (at least) but the UN did not issue any statement against them. So it's ok to kill a few hundred Arab civilians, but when you kill 1,000 then you've gone too far and will be condemned. I'm sure the UN and many governments have some sort of formula for how precious some peoples are as compared to others and how many civilians from a certain people it is acceptable to kill. 1,000 seems to be a magic number for killing Arabs. When Israel invaded Lebanon in 2006 (killing 1,191 Lebanese) and bombed Gaza in 2008-09 (killing 1,400 Palestinians) they kept on killing UNTIL the civilian death toll got to 1,000 then on both occasions they seem to have decided ok that's enough we better wrap this up now don't want to get excessive. UN to Qathafi: You criminal. You should only have killed 500 Arabs.
