Population of Libya is 6,461,454 (July 2010)
Source.

So, let's pretend the population is split 50:50 male and female. Let's pretend that 50% of the males are capable of fighting for their freedom. Let's pretend that there are 51% of the men, who are old enough to fight, want to fight for freedom.

6.4 Million x 0.50 x 0.50 x 0.51 = 816,000 potential fighting men for the Rebels.

So, we have a Rebel army (1,000 "fighters") that represents approximately 0.000122% of the population that cares enough about freedom to do something, when they have the opportunity.

Why are we wasting our time with these cowards?

(violins) We had to. It's our humanitarian responsibility. Genocide was imminent. We must be good world citizens.
