Meanwhile, over in Libya, Khadafi says that his people love him…. while photos accompanying that article show the opposition arming themselves to the teeth to stop Khadafi’s hired goons and loyalists from rolling back the gains they’ve made since the protests against Khadafi began.

Embattled Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi on Monday insisted he is not stepping down, proclaiming in a media interview: “My people love me. They would die for me.”

Even as his forces clamped down in its stronghold in the capital Tripoli, Gadhafi refused to acknowledge that anti-government protests have taken place there. Elsewhere, government tanks, armored vehicles and Jeeps mounted with anti-aircraft guns positioned Monday just outside the rebel-held city of Zawiya, where residents expected an assault from Gadhafi loyalists.

Then again, Libyans would love Khadafi… if he just left.
