I agree with your points.

I am puzzled as to why Taylor was told to resign but the rebels were not warned to disarm at the same time Taylor is being made to leave. I mean if we were going to crush both sides of the fight and be neutral do gooders, fine. But in asking Taylor to leave but allowing the rebels to remain in the field and armed means we have taken sides with teh Muslim rebels and are not honest brokers.

What makes those Muslims any better than Taylor?

They aren't, to the best of my knowledge, state sponsors of al-Qaeda. They appear to be pawns of one of the many African nations that Taylor has pissed off over the years.

Besides, Taylor has been Qadaffi's puppet for years (he was originally trained in Libya), his alleged Christianity aside. Defeating him is yet another blow to Libya's nascent African empire and what gives Qadaffi a bad day is almost always a good thing.
