Gadhafi to fight to 'the last bullet'

In response to the unrest sweeping Libya Moammar Gadhafi's son Seif al-islam proclaimed "we are not Tunisia and Egypt" and that his father remained in power with the military's backing and that they would "fight until the last man the, last woman, the last bullet"

Following the speech security forces fired upon thousands of protesters killing 60 people Sunday to bring the rising death toll to 200. With the Libyan government taking increasingly firm stances with protesters, and the recent acquisition of weapons by the protesters resulting from their seizure of several military bases, Libya is staged to explode in violence. Western countries have expressed concern over the steady increase in violence but have gone largely unheeded.

I believe the result of Libya's protests will have a much greater impact on the region than those of Egypt if the protesters manage to succeed in overthrowing their totalitarian government.
