123. Would not comment
does not mean "would step down". That was my point. You had implied that in that article (which I had read at least twice before) that Gaddafi stated that he was open to elections. It does not say that. Period.

It is well known and documented that Gaddafi forces people to do things, otherwise they disappear. This has been consistent for 42 years, and he has never shown any inclination to do otherwise.

I would like to talk to the people attending Aisha's rally one-on-one to find out what they really think - otherwise it is all a show.

I don't care if Aisha loves her Dad, surely she is adult enough to understand that in this world many people have different opinions, and to question someone's patriotism because they have a different opinion is not the utterance of a rational, mature person.

So you are asking me to accept two lies

- Gaddafi said he would step down and welcome elections
- Aisha did not mean what she said

Arguing with people like you goes nowhere because you will not accept the truth. Your only defense is to attack the person - i.e. use ad hominem. Sorry, I prefer that people provide facts, not rambling psycho babble.
