re: #26 Buck

My biggest concern is that they take over large sections of Libya, and Q’Daffy is no where to be found. THEN the so called rebels start enforcing sharia law, and slaughtering anyone they accuse of being pro-Q’Daffy.

Early on I felt I understood who the protesters in Egypt were. I have no idea who these rebels are.

I do know this, “rebels” are very different than peaceful protesters.

I share your concern that what fills the power void in Libya may not be much of an improvement, but I’m curious as to why that doesn’t concern you in Egypt as well.

I do understand that this is all-out civil war, whereas the Egyptian protests were largely nonviolent, however I think that reflects the pre-existing greater level of freedom and social order in Egypt, and the military’s willingness to swap out one dictator for another. Gaddafi, OTOH, opened fire early on on those resisting his regime.
