This weekend, headlines in mainstream media were broadly proclaiming statements such as "Gadhafi regime not legitimate, world leaders say" or "US, other Western nations declare Gadhafi regime no longer legitimate."
According to MSNBC, "In a final statement following a meeting of the so-called Contact Group on Libya, the nations said: The "Gadhafi regime no longer has any legitimate authority in Libya," and Gadhafi and certain members of his family must go."
But Western powers and certainly Western media are working overtime to suppress the fact that Libyans themselves do not share this view of their leader. For better or worse, the people have spoken, and how are Libyans showing their support? To NATO? Certainly not.
