The population of Libya is 6.4 Million (Google it).
Assuming 50% male, assume 50% between 18 and 60, assume 51% on the Rebel side.
You wind up with ~800K able-bodied men, who could fight for their freedom. Rebels report that they have ~1,000 fighters.
1,000/800,000 = 0.0012%
Less than 1 man in 120,000 has the courage to stand up to overthrow a tyrant. This is a NATION of COWARDS. They want someone else to die for them, because they are to scared to begin to defend themselves.
And this assumes that 49% of the population is fighting against them.
Ah, thanks for clarifying. Thought you were referring to our nation.
