Rising Hegemon
Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi’s son Seif el-Islam is proposing a resolution to the Libyan conflict that would entail his father relinquishing power for a transition to constitutional democracy under his son’s direction, a diplomat with close ties to the Libyan government said Sunday, citing “eminent people” in Tripoli.
See that's not democracy. Having some spoiled brat born into wealth take over the reigns of government from his father after a short period of time -- without actually winning an election? No self-respecting nation would ever legally sanction that sort of crap without five Supreme Court justices available to rubber-stamp it. Learn how its done properly Tripoli.
Bombs away then I guess.

The key word in that is "direction." Easy to leave out any number of interested parties in the details of that direction.
so, not all k/q/gaddifi's spawn picked suicide pact?
I would make some smart-assed remark about how the Cad-aft-eeees negotiate. ...but I'm reminded of the "Physician heal thy self" message.
I rather think Seif is due a thankyou. The people of Libya don't regard Kadaffi the same as we seem to have been trained to view him.
His son is trying to calm this matter, and may have already done so despite our bombs and bombast.
