      He can best help the rebels by representing them in London and by speaking out for the people.

      Live coverage of tulips blooming? Sorry, that would be to much for me. I can't take that type of wild activity.

    In as much as he did an honorable thing, he has just betrayed a true leader who gave him all he has

    His resignation will probably force Kadhafi's regime to quit knowing they won't be able to defect to another country. Kadhafi will follow by leaving Libya.
