And now Libya...

Post by Nightshade »

From almost no reports to a sudden flood of news from protesters and government "information" Libya is now descending into chaos- and it is far far worse than previously thought possible. Our pal Khadaffi is in serious trouble- not that it's a bad thing, but many people have died, several orders of magnitude more than in Egypt's uprising.

One thing that is different is that it seems the army may be fracturing and weapons have fallen into the hands of the protesters and nascent revolutionaries. 200 people have been slaughtered by Khadaffi's forces so far and many more have probably been unreported. Khadaffi is losing control:

I kinda hope they shove him in a ditch, covered in petrol, and on fire.
