The more i research this topic the more i like Gaddafi. Why?
Thanks to mainstream media i thought that whole Libya stood up against Gaddafi and his tyranny and i thought that whole nation can't be wrong. But its obvious now that he got a lot of supporters which means he did something good for them in the past.
Then i saw NATO bombing civilians and killing children just because they are related to Gaddafi. Then i remembered who controls EU and US. That was enough for me to start changing my mind.
But what really got me is last few speeches from Gaddafi. Of course it could be poor propaganda but i guess Libyan people should know the best and like i said in the beginning, Gaddafi has a lot of supporters.
And if west has right to attack Libya why wouldn't Libya attack back? I just hope this madness will end soon and peacefully.

Direct democracy in Libya is theoretical. In theory Libya is governed by a large amount of commisions where people dirrectly vote for refurendums. But in reality Libya is ruled by Qaddafi and his cabinet alone.
It is a shame what NATO is doing in Libya and if Libya did attack the West, essentially we here would be on the recieving end of what people living in Tripoli are. However, the Libyan military does not have the capability to attack the West and if it did any hope at winning even a small portion of Libya for themselves would be over. Once they attack a NATO state, a Western occupational force would enter under the guise of self defence and security.
The massive protest rallies are quiet interesting as it shows what I have been speculating and claiming for a long period of time. Qaddafi has a strong support base in Tripoli and the West as that is where the tribes on the recieving end of most the oil moneys are. Those affiliated tribes have had Eastern oil money directed to them in order to create all sorts of infastructure, welfare and often to pay individuals (corruption). So essentially the West is relatively (depending on which areas) content with Qaddafi's rule: My solution to this conflict would be, to have the East and West seperate along tribal borders.
