They are 'beggars' because Gaddafi mishandle of the country. Libya is relatively sparse in population and has enough oil to make all of them well off.

When Tony Blair visited Libya and met Gaddafi who do you think the beggar was?! Well unless Tony Blair came to give alms to Gaddafi but Gaddafi is richer than Tony Blair or even the Bush family. LOL.

One does wonder how much that contract would be adhered to when Gadaffi is gone.

In this kind of situation it's a damned if you do and damned if you don't.

Somehow I don't think renegotiating contracts will be a problem...

For their own sake, I hope the rebels are not counting on the UN to save them. If they depend on the UN they're finished. If Obama and Europe plan to do something, they need to get to it. If they wait very long, it will become moot.
