This is a new Article from the New York Times. It talks about how the newest diplomat to Libya does not think Islamist factions play a significant threat to the power gap in the country. Mr.Feltman says that the Libyan people feel the same in the US in that they do not want Islamic radicals to force their ideals upon the secular leaders.  The Question is though is this accurate to say? When it comes to it, will the Libyan people choose their own leaders?

This is an article from the New York Times this morning, it talks about how women were very involved in the battle for Libya, they even played roles that wouldn’t have been allowed in Islamic Countries, like manning artillery stations, buying ammunition and other jobs. There is even a woman representative  involved within the Transitional Government. The question is though what will happen after the establishment of a new Libyan government? Will women go back to before or will they take a more active role in the Government?

Most of Libya is under control by the rebels, with most of the major cities like Tripoli, Benghazi and Zawiyah under rebel control. And yet they haven’t  completed their primary goal: to capture and punish Colonel Muammar Qaddafi for the crimes he has committed against his people. The primary story is that he is hiding in one of his many compounds, but there many others. For example, some believe he is dead, or in Sirte and some believe he is not even in the country. There are many possibilities at this time, so for a while Qaddafi will remain at large.
