It strikes me that Muammar Gaddafi may find it much more congenial to be a guerrilla commander than he ever did to be dictator. Wasn't he just born to hide in the hills and issue violent communiques?
Gaddafi asked his supporters to continue what he called "struggle against foreign aggression" and said those against him were divided. . . . "Let there be a long fight and let Libya be engulfed in flames." He said the "balance of power is now levelled as all tribes are now armed".
Listening to his speeches, he seems to have thought that he was fighting a partisan war against the capitalist world for his whole career, and now he really is. I wonder how good he will be at it.
