RANT: Libya, Where Are You Going?

The crisis in Libya has raged for a few weeks now, and there doesn't seem to be any abating of the mounting madness in that country.

Forget the revolutions that took place in Tunisia and Egypt, what's going on in Libya is on a whole other playing field. A whole other stratosphere for that matter.

A few weeks back, Gaddafi's insolent, arrogant prick of a son wagged his finger on TV at Libyans and the world and warned darkly of "civil war" if the uprising, then only a few days old, continued. Seems the bastard was on to something - the country is indeed perched on the verge of a terrible civil war.

He clearly knew what his father, the so-called 'Mad Dog of the Middle East', had at his disposal. And what his father was capable of doing.

Gaddafi Senior and his followers, which appear to be in surprisingly large numbers, are running amok. Towns and cities seized by anti-Gaddafi rebels are now being taken back by Gaddafi's forces, often brutally and with resulting civilian deaths, according to reports coming out of the country.

I don't know what to think about the proposed 'no-fly zone'. I don't know what to think as to what the world should do best to stop the madness and get that bastard and his family the hell out of power. The US getting involved could go down very, VERY badly in what is an entire region on the precipice.

All I know is that this could get very ugly and it too could have huge repercussions in the region and indeed around the world.

May democracy, in whatever form the Libyan people choose, eventually prevail. May Gaddafi be run out and, hey, maybe even killed on his beloved Libyan soil, as he so clearly wishes.

May the pre-Gaddafi era flag fly once more over Tripoli and everywhere else in Libya. Hopefully soon.
