I'm sitting here in my comfortable white middle class American ivory tower wishing my Middle Eastern friends a peaceful resolution and the rights that I take for granted that they too deserve. Assalamu Alaykum, as it were.

This sounds like the death rattle of a regime way way past it's prime. I'm so excited for the people of Libya  the will get the freedom they so badly deserve, hopefully sooner rather than later.

It's pretty surreal watching these BBC talking heads with Gaddafi's corpse-like visage continuing his rambling behind them.

Did his speech actually end or did AJE just throw in the towel?

fap fap SPLOOGE posted:I'm not feeling too caught up in the issue of what the rest of the world should do, other than try to head off a humanitarian crisis. It is not up to the "international community" to affect the ongoing clashes decisively, as long as the anti-Gaddafi forces don't dilly-dally—and it appears they understand that. I think how events have panned out since Tunisia first flared up should give us a hint that the world is no longer in our hands so much. That was a major purpose for their taking place, after all. My problem with the reaction of the international community is that it's just been vague empty words. It's just "strong words" or "we reject the violence used in Libya" instead of "Gaddafi has proven himself unfit to lead and must step down and face his punishment" because everyone is so loving scared that if they did that and the protesters fail (they won't) they'll lose out on all their precious Libyan oil that they're so dependent on.
