I guess I can't really buy into a lot of this "compromise" business because as far as I can see, Gadaffi has no real legitimacy. Why should what he wants be taken into account? Why should the same Libyans who've been living under his rule for 40+ years now have to go beg him for whatever scraps he's willing to "compromise" on? That just doesn't make sense. To me, anyway.
I could suggest one other possibility that the Libyans could consider, and that in my humble, non-Libyan opinion seems reasonable:
1. Gadaffi immediately steps down
2. The people of Libya organize themselves and form a provisional government on their own
3. The Provisional Government of Libya holds free and fair elections
4. Gadaffi runs for officeIf the people decide Mo' wasn't that bad, they can vote him right back into office. And if they don't, they don't.
That seem fair to you?
[Bolding added]
No. (That does not seem fair to me.)
Notice it's all your opinion.
What right do countries and persons who are not Libya and Libyans have to decide what is right and good for Libyans?
None.
If Libyans get to a point where they are in a position to hold an election/referendum to determine the future and nature of their government (they're not there yet), they will have got there as a result of our illegal War of Aggression, regime change against Libya and choosing sides. Not on the basis of any free and independent actions of Libyans themselves.
A careful reading of your above post reveals that it is nothing more than another justification for our war on Libya.
