Am I the only one that's worried of the consequences this might bring to the Libyan people? Looking back at Gaddafi's relation to leaders of certain black-african nations, financially speaking. Not to mention the fact that many of Gaddafi's mercenaries descend from such nations. I wonder how this will play out. Hope they do not make a Lernaean Hydra out of him either.
