I'm sure most here have heard the news, but here is one of the latest updates:

Looks like the berk is going to be gone soon. Your thoughts?

Don't expect those taking over are going to be any better.

Don't think that negative. Libya has oil, so there is western interest in it. Look at Syria, they have nothing, so no one will look at them. The people there are really fucked.

Yup, unless they find a gold mine somewhere. The current chairman of the Libyan Gov is pretty good actually

Look at Egypt as an example as well. The rebels took over, and now are putting the previous rulers through fair democratic (right word?) trials, rather than shooting them out of hand.

It's that 'replacing one demon by another' thing...

This morning at news: The intermediate government can access some dictators accounts again. 1.500.000.000 $ for repairs. That's a good start!

Ok, this thrusts Gaddafi deeper into creepy territory, if he wasn't already deep enough.
