One way or another, it seems clear that the Libyan Revolution has
entered its last phase, and that this phase could well end abruptly in
the next days. If Qaddafi’s own capital is so eager to be rid of him,
his support is much thinner than many observers had assumed. His troops
in Zawiya and elsewhere are increasingly refusing to engage in hand to
hand combat, running away when the revolutionaries show up, and at most
sitting in a truck and bombarding the revolutionaries from a distance
(but thereby making themselves targets of NATO war planes and
helicopters). The esprit de corps of the revolutionaries is, in
contrast, high.
