what if: Oslo bombing sponsored by Libya
Let's say the bombing and shootings in Oslo were found out to have been financed or, worse, ordered by Qaddafi. Who thinks this would be a NATO collective defense case?

But... IF it would be the case yes, IMO this is a NATO defence case.

Yes, but highly unlikely. Qaddafi doesn't have that much to spend and has to focus it's attention domestically.

Invade. I guess that's about the only option.

How could it be a case of collective defence when they are already attacking him?
And if he was involved then it is a target that is no less legitimate then bombing his family home was.

Agreed. Libya has "right" to strike back anywhere in the nato area.

I would not say they have a right, it would be equally wrong to do so

They should try to strike military targets, not civilians.
