Libyans used to be afraid. But...,

    after they saw the blood they aren't afraid anymore, they are angry. (To use a quote from a Guardian article)

    - Protests have spread like wildfire out of Benghazi and other western towns to the doorsteps of the regime;

    -the Libyan military murders the protestors by the score and yet the protests continue

    - Diplomats are defecting and fighter pilots are seeking asylum rather than bomb or strafe protestors.

    - Various tribes

    Papers are even carrying rumours that Ghaddafi has upped sticks and has fled to Venezuela.

    The last item sounds like a rumour (But oh if it were true!). Ghaddafi's son has appeared o tv denying airstikes on protestors (they were hitting ammo dumps, honest guv!).

    There are reports that Ghaddafi will appear shortly on Libyan tv. However defiant he may be it now looks clear that his 42 year hold on Libya is close to its end. He is staring into the abyss...

    Just one more push and he tumbles into the abyss...Source URL: http://extravagancedeplumes.blogspot.com/2011/02/libyans-used-to-be-afraid-but.html
