Gaddafi: All guns blazing or a private jet?
By Sami Moubayed
"What is clear is that Gaddafi will not flee like Ben Ali or resign like Mubarak. Most observers expect him to fight until curtain fall - until either somebody kills or arrests him. Some argue, however, that he might commit suicide rather than let others kill him, following in the footsteps of German leader Adolf Hitler.
"That seems highly doubtful, however, given that suicide needs plenty of courage and most Gaddafi watchers argue that deep inside, beneath all the layers of bravado, the Libyan leader is a very weak and insecure person. The eccentric behavior, the loud words and colorful costumes are all reflections of inner weakness he tries to cover up with controversial appearances."
Sami Moubayed is a university professor, political analyst, and editor-in-chief of Forward Magazine in Syria.
