FROM CNN's Jack Cafferty:
There's little chance U.S. military involvement in Libya will be considered a success if Moammar Gadhafi is not removed from power.
President Obama has called on Gadhafi to step down over and over again. So has the United Nations and the opposition forces fighting Gadhafi in Libya have as well; but that hasn't happened and it doesn't look like it's going to happen any time soon.
A government spokesman for Gadhafi's regime said yesterday that Libya is ready to reform its political system and even hold democratic elections, but that Gadhafi will not step aside. The spokesman said the Libyan people must decide whether their leader for the past 42 years, Gadhafi, should stay in power.
Gadhafi's second son, Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, echoed all of this to the BBC in an interview today. He says sweeping changes are possible in Libya - But he scoffed at the idea of his family leaving the country or going into exile.
He told the BBC, "It's our country you want us to leave? To where? The Maldives? To the Caribbean? We are Libyans."
The Libyan government insists that the Gadhafi regime is not attacking civilians. Nobody believes that. And I don't think anyone is going to buy the "ready for reform" line either.
Here’s my question to you: Should Moammar Gadhafi be allowed to remain in Libya?
Interested to know which ones made it on air?
