If they want to end the regime, they’ll first have to FIND Gaddafi. He’s probably in a better hidey-hole than Saddam was.
He is likely also guarded by fierce loyalists.
I also think he’ll eat a gun before being taken. It’s probably better than what the crowd may do to him if they get their hands on him. Think “Mussolini”.
His mercenaries and goons are just enraging people and spurring them on. It reminds me of Iran in my youth, when the Shah’s army tried to put down protests all over the country. They mothballed and within a few months, the Shah was gone. We are seeing the same scenes now in Libya. Qaddafi will either commit suicide or be shot like Ceausescu. The end of his bloody regime will be a bloody one.
