Libyans love Gadhafi

Gadhafi’s troops continued terrorizing the civilians in the city of Misrata. Heavy ant-aircraft fire and other loud explosions were heard in Tripoli after nightfall. Residents around the city say shelling and sniper attacks are unrelenting. Today, a US F15 fighter jet crashed in Bu Mariem (east of Benghazi) because of mechanical failure. The two pilots were unharmed. On Monday, tanks opened fire on peaceful protestors. Hospitals are overwhelmed with all the dead and injured, and food is scarce. The problem is that both Gadhafi’s and the rebel’s forces are too weak to be able to hold Misrata or Ajdabiya, another key city. In those cases, UN’s missiles and airstrikes are of no use. Will this conflict end in a stalemate, or will other nations deploy ground forces?
