It seems you have a great grasp on things, any observations on N. Africa, will Quadafy leave quietly. I believe these guys who have hoards of money and or gold do not really wish to die as martyrs but hold onto power till the last minute, then go live somewhere with the hoard. They are not usually as willing to go down with the ship when a life of luxury awaits a safe haven over.
