CRed, personally I worry about those costs. As you indicated, those Tomahawks are not cheap.

However, if the international community is going to do this, it ought to be done right. Aircraft, anti-aircraft sites, radar sites, and other heavy hardware would have to be taken out to support a no-fly zone. It is difficult for me, and the Arab League for that matter, to adjudge exactly how much strike is needed to do this and how much might be superfluous.

What really concerns me are the comments that what has happened represents only the first wave of attacks. I wonder what is yet to happen.
