Looks like Gaddafi´s been bombing some civilian areas with jets, and having folk gunned down. This could turn very bloody.

He's starting to slip, I think.

The death toll is already being reported at 600 or more. I'd call it bloody.

That's a euphemism for "black people".

It's a euphemism for "ghetto black people" to be exact.

So where's the "UN" now? What about NATO? What about "I police the shit out of everything" US?

Oh, that's right, there has to be some sort of tangible economic or political gain from interfering from mass murder.

Judgin by his latest video appearance, where the only thing missing was him drooling at the mouth and howling at the moon to confirm his insanity, I´d say he´s off his rocker.

His 2ic seems to have deserted him which is a good sign I suppose, just depends on how many are willing to go down the martydom path with him.

Yeah, I've been thinking the same thing. Lybians have asked the UN to place a no fly zone over the country but it doesn't seem like anything is happening.

apparently a bunch of the tribes are also abandoning him, which is a big deal

I get your drift. The Arabs were kept in check by lunatic dictators. Now they can choose their leaders freely (we´ll see). So if the choose an Islamic "Iran" like bunch, who then decide the west is satanic, turn of the oil tap and join forces against Israel then it could be nasty.

"The Arabs"?

I guess I forgot all countries of that ethnicity were one and the same.

Israel has been able to keep pressure from local nations down by working with autocratic regimes in the region. This is why you see no Jordanian, Syrian, Egyptian, etc, resistance to the occupation, the way you do see pressure from a nation like Turkey.

being surrounded by democratic states isn't going to increase the risk of conflict, but will increase how accountable the government's of these nations are to their people, who don't want such complete placation to the Israelis. It would be much harder a) for Israel to maintain its Gaza policy and b) for Israel to keep Gaza from having any real autonomy in such a political climate.

"kept in check" = Arabs are fundamentally different than us and can't handle democracy = clash of civilizations

also, Israel would decimate any combination of military forces in the Middle East, and everyone knows this. Also, while there still have been few, if any, Islamists involved in these protests, it is also apparent that there is little to no anti-Americanism or anti-Israel sentiment either. These protests are very unlikely to lead to Iranian style states, which poses no threat to Israel anyways.

if you thought conspiracies were insane in America, see Libya:

Just wait until he unleashes his Amazonian Guard on the insurgents.

Same reason Mexico isn't getting any kind of assistance despite sharing a border with us.

Same with Canada. The Eskimo Wars have been raging for years, but the U.S. has offered only token assistance.
