WWRRHD?

Now that it appears that Muammar Ghadafi is toast, we cats wonder how the clown college that passes for the 2012 Republican Presidential field will grapple with this apparent resolution to the Libyan situation.

In fact, the question that should be asked of all the GOP candidates — and their next debate seems an opportune time — is this: "What would Ronnie have done?"

That would be Ronald Reagan, the 40th President, who did not, repeat, not dislodge Ghadafi from his perch — despite plenty of eyeball-to-eyeball confrontations between the U.S. and Libya during the Reagan Administration. (After which, in December 1988, the Libyans brought down Pan Am 103. We're just sayin'.)

We cats would never claim to know Reagan — we are fans of Jimmy Carter, after all. But we think that if Ronnie were alive today and not drooling, he would congratulate President Obama on achieving a great foreign policy objective — to the benefit of the United States, and the entire world.

Republican candidates, take note. And fall in line. Thank you.
