NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO.....NO. For real? You've got to be kidding me right now. Please tell me April Fool's day in Libya is on April 4th. Please. Gadhafi's SON will be (rumored to) take power from his father? .....NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO.
Not the point of Libya's massive state of rebellion. Not the point of loosing countless civilian lives in this bloody political battle. Not the point of responding to rebel requests for deeming Lybia a no fly zone. Not the point of American and NATO ally bombings on Gadhafi's forces. Not the point of stimulating economic fears felt here and around the world.
Come on guys. Let's think here.
Understandably, it makes sense to tell the people that "yes! we ARE listening to your wants! we are taking Gadhafi out!"
'Cept no, you really aren't.
Like any father-son bond between a leader and his heir, support for the "throne" and ruling standards are a common feat; which seems to be the case of 38 year old Saif al-Islam Gadhafi and his public support of his father's hold on power ever since the Libyan rebellion has taken forth. By just switching out one family member for another, isn't really going to be doing much good, no matter the claims you make.
However, government officials claim that the change in power from Gadhafi to his son would be a "...take over from his father and help to usher in swift reform" in order "...to avoid instability, the transition must be a gradual handover of power.'"
Well dam* right it had better be.
The source given to CNN online also stressed the a need to negotiate a "respectful solution" so that the elder Gadhafi is not seen as being forced out should be planned.
yeeeeah. The minute Gadhafi started attacking his own people, all credibility and respect went down the drain. So....a "respectful" and/or a "not-forced-out-of-power" deal, in my opinion, would not go down too well with the enraged Libyan rebels; let alone the world.
