To a cheering crowd, Aisha Moammar Gadhafi's daughter, made it clear that US airstrikes on Libya exactly 25 years ago did not defeat the country and will not right now.

The crowd erupted in cheers when Aisha appeared on the balcony.
"Let me go back to the past when I was a child, when I was nine years old, in this house," she said. "A rain of missiles and bombs. They tried to kill me. They killed dozens of children in Libya."

"Now, after 25 years, the same missiles, the same bombs, rain on our children's heads," she said.

"We are a people that cannot be defeated," she added.

So is this a way of saying, Libya is our family business, we want to be left alone to run it the way we want?

An another disaster unfolds as the democratic world tries to free a population from tyrannical control. I think the problem is that people have to mature enough to demand and sustain democracy before it will work. What's more, they have to do it themselves, ultimately, to show they've reached that level as a society. Until we're ready to lead ourselves, we will continue to reach out for a stronger leader, be that our tyrant or a large country we think can save us.
