The rebels are desperate to do anything to stop Gaddafi. They offer bounties to his inner circle. They have confirmed that they will take revenge, like petty men, by executing Gaddafi should he be captured. Clearly, an eye for an eye is still a valid concept for Mr Jalil and co. The murder of General Younes in July by fellow rebels showed this more than any other event in the history of the NTC.
At the end of the day, the Third International Theory is the solution to the problems of capitalism and democracy. To rebel against it, as many have since the creation of the Jamahiriyah, would be entirely wrong. It is not tyranny to prevent those who wish to pervert the course of direct and pure democracy with weak-willed demagoguism from doing so. And, were it not for the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, then the Jamahiriyah would have continued to operate fully and properly from Tripoli. It was only the 'no-fly zone' that prevented the demagogues from being silenced.
True, the Gaddafis have abused their ideology and status, but this has only been the case since the world, at the behest of the USA, decided to try and cripple Libya's booming economy by imposing sanctions, in the hope that Gaddafi would change his ways or lose support. It took a long time for the latter to happen. It seems, luckily, that the former shall never become a reality. Gaddafi must stand firm. But, if he were to loose control over all Libya, rather than prevent development by the NTC. Should Mr Jalil and friends ever manage to implement their form of democracy, however, I would prefer that they allow Gaddafi, or one of his sons, to run on behalf of the Third International Theory.
