Simple, powerful speech condemning Gaddahfi is enough.
Reagan said "Tear down this wall" and then what happened. You don't need guns or an army to overturn a despot. All you have to do is inspire confidence in the people and they'll get their own freedom.
Good point. Look how well that worked for Ceaușescu, Baby Doc Duvalier (and about a dozen other Haitian despots), Pol Pot, Kim Jong-il, Castro, Amin, Mugabe, Hussein. Should I go on, or should we pretend you never made that post?
Sadam Hussein survived for almost 13-years after the UN implemented a no-fly zone. What removed Hussein from power? Not a speech, not a time-share in the Poconos but American military force as delivered by boots on the ground. Gadaffi isn't going anywhere precisely because there's nowhere for him to him to go. He's safe in Libya, and chances are he'll stay there for a very long time unless we escalate.
