Once you've got the navy she...I think he might. Once you've got the navy shelling your own capital, you're in serious trouble. (As a historical example: the British Navy bombarding Dublin - once seen as the Empire's second city - in 1916). <br /><br />I suspect that Gaddafi himself is bitter and tired, but relatively easy to push out. It's the next generation he's brought up who will cling on to the power and wealth who will respond violently. What can Gadaffi's son do without his father's death squads to back him up? Work in a bank? There's no room for an entire class of torturers, corrupt businessmen etc. in a revolutionary state, although it didn't take long for them to appear in the new Russia.The Plashing Volehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13021407602157515927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6153845628469776909.post-18710157293277074242011-02-21T18:34:25.621+00:002011-02-21T18:34:25.621+00:00Vole, do you really think Gaddafi is going to go?
