I heard on news radio that the people in Libya who are anti-Qaddafi (sp?) are upset at the U.S. for not coming to their assistance. And that the U.S. can't appear to take the side of the opposition, but also can't appear to the rest of the world to support Qaddafi because it's generally thought that he needs to go. The commentator said the best option for the U.S. at this point is to continue to encourage Qaddafi to leave, and to look at other non-military options. Is that accurate? (I missed the beginning of the story) If we want Qaddafi gone, why can't we publicly take that position? And what's the relationship between a might/might not happen situation in Libya and oil prices?


Thanks,
