3. Most of those people have probably never known anything but Gaddafi as their government |
|
It must seem like a strange dream to them. I can imagine many of them wondering what goes next?
I truly hope they create something that is better.

I spent some time on You Tube today, looking at the videos from when it all began, in Benghazi Feb 17. Timid peaceful demonstrations, no one was armed, most videos were afraid to show faces. There were no flags yet. To own, draw, or paint the old pre-Gadaffi flag was penalized by public HANGING. Which is why it now appears everywhere. Then the Gadaffi troops opened fire, and the spark of revolution spread. The evolution of revolution, always fascinating.
