War Is Over When Libyans Want It

And the people of Libya want it over now.

The Libyan rebels entered Tripoli and took over most of the city, forcing Colonel Muammar el-Qaddafi to go into hiding. The revolution that has brought the call for freedom to Qaddafi's doorstep - even if he isn't there to answer it - and sporadic fighting will continue for at least another week. But the deposed Libyan leader is probably hiding in a rathole in the style of Saddam Hussein, and he couldn't have gotten far. My guess is that he will be found in very short order. I don't think he's as clever under pressure as Saddam was. He's been very good at staying in power for 42 years, but without guards or an exit strategy, I don't think he can stay on the run for long.

Besides, he has the desert on three sides and the Mediterranean on the fourth. Where's he gonna go?

Heck, I can't even joke any more that he can always hide with bin Laden. :-D
