A Regime is Dead

In a turn of events whose origins go back three weeks, NATO forces began bombing military targets around Tripoli and Sitre in Libya as part of Operation Odyssey Dawn. The targeted attacks against Qaddafi's air defense forces represents an escalation in support of earlier proposals calling for a no-fly zone, but presents a greater question for the West - what will happen if and when Qaddafi falls? Opposition forces collapsed yesterday under pressure from Qaddafi, do they have the strength to rule a deeply divided country? Will Libya be able to stay politically unified in the aftermath of this conflict?
