One headline reads "Libyan Rebels Welcome Air Strikes Stopping Gaddafi's Attacks".
This "rebellion" backed by western military power may assume too much. A few weeks ago we talked about how the rebellion would be de-legitimized if the west was seen to be backing it. Now have the rebels have lost their stomach for a tough fight? What is the point of western intervention if the beneficiaries of intervention have melted away?
Either way, you have to kinda admire the old man of their country, willing to put it all in to a fight for survival. He's doing exactly what I would expect. He may not know how to rule well, but he certainly knows one element of effective rule: inspiring fear. Note how this guy's men hop to it.
