Yes it is different in reality. There's interests and hidden agenda in RL. In chess it's so straightforward, to defeat the other color. In life?! Well the politicians would like to tread carefully and only act in the name of best self interest instead of good will or mere conscience.
The short form is there's no politicking in chess.
I'd wager a hundred bucks that Gaddafi will be out without Libya descending into full scale protracted civil war or general chaos. Libyans would have their way. Gaddafi will be out of power. Alive or dead I do not know but out of power will he be before any other Arab country get their evolution to be successful. Libya will be the bloodiest evolution of them all. It already has. Another country will follow to get their evolution after Libya and it will be the last one of the string that has been sweeping the middle east.
