Libya

In Libya right now, protests are going on to try and get rid of their leader, Muammar el-Qaddafi. He doesn't like the fact that his people are trying to throw him out. I mean, who would like that, right? But anyway. The protests have gotten like extremely violent. It turns out that some of the people who used to be on Qaddafi's side, have actually turned against him, and that set him off even more. The United States has actually gone to Libya to try to help, but Qaddafi won't have it. He feels that foreigners or outside help has no business interfering with North African affairs. The protests in Libya started because Libya's neighbors, Egypt and Tunisia, had protests and they got their leaders out, so Libya started theirs, but theirs didn't end up quite as well as Egypt and Tunisia's did.  
I think that this whole thing has gone a little too far. I don't think it had to get so violent over there. If I was Qaddafi, I'd just like, step down. Obviously his people don't like or want him as a leader, so why lead a place where everyone doesn't like you? That just doesn't make sense, to me at least.
