I've no doubt that Libyan expats who call for the end of Gaddafi have the best interests of their country at heart, but it reminds me of the clamour from Iraqi expats who were vociferous in their support for the removal of Sadam Hussein.
However, when the country falls to pieces, these same expats stay safe in their adopted homes, and are more likely to have the money to buy up land and property in Libya when relative stability returns.
Do we ever hear from the normal working people who have to sacrifice so much when their country is torn apart, and don't have the money to fly off to some safe haven somewhere else?
The working man is always fighting on the front line, and the working man and his family are always in the firing line.
