Libya, things getting uglier by the day

At first both the rebels and pro-Gahdafy people were saying no outside world intervention in Libya. "It's our country, let us figure it out."  Today some of the rebels are starting to say they may need outside help to get rid of Gahdafy. It seems that he is well entrenched in Tripoli and the surrounding area and removing him may prove more difficult then the rebels can handle. Fears abound that Libya will become the new Somalia.

I hope not. I also hope things improve around Somalia and that piracy decreases in the high seas. People keep saying that others are idiots to go sailing near Somalia, but one must realize that if you're going to use the Suez canal you have to pass in the gulf of Eden and this is where Somalian pirates are hijacking ships. This is a high traffic shipping route.

Still I hope the levelheadedness the rebels have shown in Libya prevails and that they succeed in ousting Gahdafi and establishing some form of democratic system truly run by the people. It would suck if instead the country descended into civil wars for years on end.
