I thought this would be about Huge Chavez. |

The most important lesson in the history of american warfare: Don't underestimate the power and resolve of armed citizenry fighting in and for their homelands. |

Vindicarre, Just to be Devil's Advocate, do you think the rebels are fit to run a country? |

I don't see why not. I'm sure King George, and many of his subjects, thought the rebels in the colonies weren't fit... |

As fit as anyone else who can dole out oil wealth to their fellow tribesmen, sure. |

We're actually running about 50/50 on that one. However, once there's a no-fly zone being enforced, or Qaddaffi runs out of ammunition or spare parts for his air power, I expect the balance to shift. |

While I don't disagree with your ideas backing this post, it's probably relevant to consider just how long countries end up lasting as-is. The fact that Vindi's post mentions King George and his subjects, for example, says a lot on this very subject. :p The French Revolution came decades after our own. Germany has been through all sorts of changes. Japan in 1850 vs Japan in 2000? 1900 China to 2010 China... In a certain regard, we've lasted awhile already. |

A chaotic environment does not help economic growth. Even if they form a "government" it will not be stable and investment risks in the area will be high. Anyways, I don't really understand what the rebels hope to get out of this? Yeah being more "free" is good and all, but not when you're unemployed. |

Also, it's amusing how the rebels want to be "saved" by the international community when the fact is they started this war. |

I don't expect a no-fly zone to get out of the UN Security Council. It looks like by the time his air power needs major resupply, it'll all be over. |

Maybe. Third world air forces are notorious for poor maintenance and I doubt he can fabricate many parts locally. Ammunition he might be in better shape on. |

Needless to say, I'm a bit surprised at the UN vote. |

I think in a battle between the two in the OP... the safe bet is on Rao the Conqueror. |
