Qaddafi on the brinks: The Struggle in Libya

The struggle in Libya is taking a dramatic turn, turning into a spheres of influence war. Zionist arming pro-Qaddafi thugs in order to prevent Libya from becoming a "Islamic state", sections of the Libyan rebels arguing for foreign intervention and on a rampage against Chinese and Somalian immigrants, Qaddafi has built a police state in Tripoli and is continuing to gun/bomb the rebels and yet the Benghazi council and the Libyan National Transitional Council is showing the way: "We are against any foreign intervention or military intervention in our internal affairs ...This revolution will be completed by our people." 
The struggle in Libya is only a link in the chain from all the other struggles occurring in the Middle East and North Africa. Libyan's are facing a police state, a ruling wealthy elite around Qaddafi, and the similar economic hardships faced by their brothers and sisters in Egypt and Tunisia. This is something Qaddafi surely understood, which is why he could express his regret for the fate of his buddy Ben Ali. The U.S. war machine wants Libya bad, there's no hiding that, and there exist sections of the opposition movement that are willing to work with the U.S. and other more honest sections who are calling for limited involvement but no ground troops. We should argue against both. However, this does not de-legitimize the mass rebelling taking place and there cause of a free Libya. We should understand that the U.S. is already negotiating with sections of the ruling elite around Qaddafi, and they are simply hoping for a 'Libya Qaddafi without Qaddafi' The real threat to imperialism isn't in Qaddafi, but in a revolutionary struggle to overthrow him.
