If protesters in Libya push on, the Libyan dictator and his family won't last for long. You don't know how much he is hated by his people and he knows that they would love to get their hands on him. But Qadhdhafi has a dilemma: he is hated in Saudi Arabia and does not have good relations with Gulf countries. What about his allies in the West? Those? They will discover (again) that he is a dictator once he is overthrown. Let it be noted that the Bush administration made peace with this horrific dictator, lest the Bush administration graduates think that they are less pro-US dictators than Obama. I expect violence in Libya.
