Playlist would be awesome, Jules :nice:

Gaddafi has now announced a ceasefire. :confused:

:laugh3::laugh3:

Another embarassement for Britian, I see.

Military invasion is the last thing Libya needs. Gaddafi could easily use that as a way to shore up support and use it as an excuse that he's defending his country.

To be honest I find this a little condescending. They didn't "seem" to be evil, they were and are evil. Here's something said by Issandr Al-Amrani in the Guardian yesterday which sums up how I feel about this type of thinking: "For several decades, there has been a soft bigotry of lowered expectations in the west and among Arab elites about the Arab world. The prevalent thinking about this region of over 300 million souls is that it offered no fertile ground for democracy, either because democracy risked bringing political forces hostile to western interests or because democracy is not a value that has much currency in the region. Many regimes understood this, and played a double game of decrying their societies' "immaturity" while encouraging anti-democratic tendencies such as populism and, at times, a reactionary social conservatism. After the revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt, no one will buy this any more – and nor should they about two more north African countries: Libya and Morocco." No one thinks things will magically get better now that the despots are gone. Remember, its that type of thinking that brought in people like them (with support of the West, of course) in the first place. Saying the Middle East may as well just stick with tyrannical leaders and hope for the best is both defeatist and unfair.

Well the Middle East is quite diverse and the countries in the region shouldn't be bunched up together as one monolithic structure (which is a mistake of both Western and some Islamic thinking), but that's just a sidenote that I wanted to bring up. The overwhelming majority of protesters were calling for a civilian state, and it was interesting to see the Muslim Brotherhood adapt some of its policies during the demonstrations. They're not really a radical group as is being shown by the media abroad; Mubarak was quite successful in scaring people into thinking they were the only alternative to his regime (this can also be seen from Gaddafi in his speech today warning of Al-Qaeda taking over). The Brotherhood are more a conservative religious group; they do have policies that, should they ever be in charge, would not be in favour of the current situation with Israel, but they're not the Taliban or the Iranian regime and would not be at war with Israel. Although what Israel wants should be irrelevant. The army does appear to be moving towards creating real reform, though I do have reservations that they're moving too fast with unilateral decisions. The constitution should be completely rewritten and the figures from the NDP need to go. There is definitely a sense of excitement in the region and the feeling of pride and empowerment are some of the two biggest gains from all that's going. People for the first time really, feel they can change things and their voices will be heard.

I hope he hangs from a lampost in Tripoli.

Solidarity with our fellow revolutionaries. Gaddafi's regime is crumbling around him and he's running out of options. Glad to hear your father is OK, inengsol1500

:stunned:

Aww thanks Nina, that's so sweet :nice: :hug:

I think the military will have to make changes because it knows that people are no longer afraid of going out to the street and protesting. There is still long, long way to go; I don't think any of us involved thought we were capable of this. But we have a genuine chance to change now. Egypt has a lot of problems; social, political, economic and even cultural, corruption is unfortunatly quite endemic and many people can't even read or write. We have to keep pressure on the military ruling body to really work towards reform and change so we can all benefit.

BOOM! That came out of nowhere!!! First we get rid of a dicatator, now new Radiohead! I'MSOEXCITEDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
