WI: Gaddafi holds Dennis Kucinich hostage

I'm sure we've all heard that Gaddafi tried to get Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) to come to Libya, which Kucinich refused because he's not an idiot. But suppose Kucinich had a serious lapse in judgement and went to Libya anyway. Now, what if ol' Daffy, in his madness, decided that he would cripple the US, and by extension all of NATO, simply by holding this man hostage? Would the US have declared war, or would they have tried to negotiate? What about the rest of NATO?

SEAL Team Six heads on in after a period of "negotiation", rescues Kucinich, and, for good measure, shoots Gaddafi in the head. That, and when Kucinich gets home, his political career is over. He retires from Congress and becomes ambassador to either Croatia or the new Libya.
