    The earliest civilisation I can pin to the area is the Mesopotamians. Won't somebody think if the Mesopatamians?!

    Re: Libya

    This is my point of view on this whole matter.
    Gadaffi has been ruler of Libya for the past 42 years. Now if the people of Libya Elected him every time or not doesn't matter now, it's in the past. I would say the Majority of Libyans don't want him ruling and they want to have democratic elections. We all know by now how that turned out.

    I quote from Wikipedia
    Gaddafi vowed to "die a martyr" if necessary in his fight against the rebels and external forces.
    (I think it is safe to say that the rebels represent the people who want democratic elections)
    Lets say he sticks with this attitude
    He will either be killed by the rebels (or by an accidental air strike from NATO, lol)
    he will defeat the rebels, either killing most of them or imprisoning them( why let them be free if they can start another rebellion). Then he would of eliminated a large portion of his country's people
    He steps down from power and then his supporters kill him for being a coward and letting them down
    He has made it clear that he won't step down so the way I see it is he will die, sooner or later why does it matter who kills him?.

    Because if his own people kill him he won't be a martyr.
