Libya 7/6/2011

world-news, elections, libya, rebels, muammar-gaddafi

Some time ago Muammar Gaddafi offered for a second time a possibility of free elections in Libya, the point is to find out whether residents want him to stay in power or not. That is actually quite good offer, and in a way, it would be reasonable solution for all this.

I mean that Gaddafi still has a plenty of potential supporters in a different parts of Libya. He really might win fair elections, and as he offered - There would be people from various organizations to make sure that those elections would be a honest ones.

The rebels have also come to the more reasonable way, with they're resent offer in which Gaddafi can stay in Libya for a rest of hes life. All he needs to do, is give up all the power, after immediately withdrawing his forces from all fronts. - Then he could stay in Libya.

Big problem in this one is, that givin up the power would leave Gaddafi in a helpless position. Trust is the big issue here, also hes life would not be the same without all the things he does now. All this makes it pretty hard to accomplish the rebels offer in a  reasonable way.

In Gaddafi's offer, there is that problem whether rebels trust him or not. Maybe not, and that one is big problem in his good offer.

Hi Matti, I had read the rebels had offered that term to Gadhafi. I wish he would take them up on the offer and get this over with. Actually, I would rather him arrested by the rebels and sent to the Hague. The rebels are tightening the noose around the capital of Tripoli and it really is a matter of time before Gadhafi falls.

He is dangerous, not only to his people but the rest of the world. Good article, voted up.

PS. I clipped this to the group.

Hi Bobby.

The rebels are tightening the noose around the capital of Tripoli and it really is a matter of time before Gadhafi falls.

That is true, it also leaves not much reason for the rebels to handle this by talking.

Thank you for the clip and the rest.
