@The Monk: You can't compare Egypt and Libya. Egypt has really free elections, with general right to vote, in Libya many people will be excluded from election proces. That means that Libya will have a new "conquest" of freedom, if really chooses democracy and free elections with general right to vote, because many people will be disenfranchised.

Good song.

But you pro russian posters can't handle the truth.

Juan why don't you get lost.  It looks like they are happy but then again you area probably an idiot.

@The Monk

Stop spewing your poison here on RT and go back to your daily dose of CNN, Fox or Al Jazeera.

Since your beliefs obviously are of the elite, why not fight for them on the actual field of battle?

Another so called independent reporter with an agenda. She is a tool of Rt and the Iranian New Agency. Tripoli was not "invaded" by NATO and "Rebels".  Tripoli was FREED by NATO air support and Libyan citizens fighting for freedom. Freedom does not come easy. Like cancer therapy, it takes a toll on the body. But, in the end, it can be beattiful. Ask the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt if it was worth it. We may not agree with the outcome but if it is the free will of the people, so be it!

Libya will be Free soon. The Real Revolution was hijacked by Thugs and Murders. People are now waking up and soon whole Nation will stand united in kicking out foreigners and the enemies of Libya.
