Protests in Libya

A revolution has begun in Libya, it hasn't been pretty so far. According to cnn.com, Libya rebels have continued there westward advance through Libya on Sunday, taking control of two key cities, Lanuf and Brega. Rebels forces are trying to wipe of pro-Moammar Gadhafi forces, pro forces keep on pushing back. A CNN crew witnessed damage on the outskirts of the city, but nothing too severe. Rebels are trying to take control of a key oil town in Brega, CNN observed. This means that the rebels have gained back the territory that they had lost at the beginning of this war. This could mean a comeback. In order for the rebels not to get out of control, according to The Telegraph.com, Gadhafi has sent in snipers to crush the rebel forces. This is not a good form of defense because many people are getting killed and hospitals are getting overwhelmed with people, Libya, plain and simple, is not safe at all right now. Protesters are filling up squares in Libya protesting against these actions chanting " down with Gadhafi" according to CBS.com. Gadhafi has supposedly vowed to defend his country to the death if he has to. Will this have to necessary? Will Libya change after this is all over? The only thing we can do now is wait.
