and how will that be felt among the rest of the country? >> sure. any international intervention here, be it an air strike, this is something that gadhafi will use. he's laid out the groundwork over the past few weeks saying, look, what the rebels are doing is trying to invite the international community to come in and join them. this is a throwback to the days of -- of the colonialist days here. italy's colonialism and the united states presence in the country. before that, and this is how gadhafi rose to power back in the late '60s when he came to power. he came in and he was seen as somebody who was able to essentially throw out the last remaining presence of the united states, closed down the air bases here and the same with the italians. that's the reputation here, and what they are saying is without me, this is all going to come back, so the first air strikes that come in here, he'll say that this is the international community coming in, colonizing. this is the fault of the rebels.
