Certainly not those in positions of power. Nor did many 'ordinary' people.
Since 1969----he is not elected by the Libyan people, he only declares himself "The Brother Leader of Libya".
Colonel Qaddafi
It is uncertain whether Libyan dictator/leader Qaddafi will have been removed from power by the end of 2011.
He came to power by launching a military coup d'etat, overthrowing his boss, the pro-Western Libyan King Idris I and became Libya's dictator.
Muammar Gaddafi was a Libyan revolutionary and politician who ruled Libya for forty-two years. Muammar Gaddafi had ten children (a few adopted) in total.
Earthellism answers the solution to the Libyan civil war. We have let Qaddafi get a free ride as an atheistic human devil. Our president and all other national leaders should individually take on Qaddafi to call him out to stop this madness and to resign. Tell Qaddafi he can leave office peacefully or violently and it his his choice. If he continues to shell civilians he has chosen to be removed violently and all attempts should be made to assassinate him. On a even playing field good always defeats evil. Qaddafi can stop the killing, and every day he does not stop the war he is asking to be removed by assassination and the most efficent way to stop a dictator is term limits by assassination.
This attack was traced back to one man: Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi, head of security for Libyan Arab Airways, with ties to Mohmar Qaddafi. One assumes that the Libyan government may have had a hand in this, but forensics on this matter are not forthcoming.
Ye, people can and do survive in the Libyan Desert.
