Momentum is Shifting in Libya

By Micah Halpern
I've Been Thinking:
Yesterday was a crucial day in Libya. Momentum began to significantly shift from Ghadaffi and to the protesters.
Right now, the Eastern parts of Libya are more or less in the hands of the protesters while Tripoli is still controlled by Ghadaffi loyalists.
Triploi is blockaded. Ghadaffi loyalists are keeping all the protesters out of the city. Only 6.5 million people live in Libya and of that number, 2 million of them live in Tripoli.
Protesters need to sustain their crowd in the streets and to stand up against the security forces and their weapons. Without that momentum, the masses will buckle under the threat and fear factor of the notorious Libya leader, a fear that causes every resident to quake.
This change in momentum is a huge shot in the arm for Libya's protesters.
