My first secondary source article is about the current revolution that is taking place in Libya. As the title suggests, this research article focuses on Gaddafi’s history of wrongdoings, the current state of Libya and Gaddafi’s determination to stay in power. According to Ghosh, Gaddafi has funded terrorist groups and civil wars in sub-Saharan Africa. A common theme of this article is that the Libyans are through with Gaddafi and want him out of power with him having any say in the matter. In reaction, Gaddafi is putting up a fight until the end, he even said “I am a warrior, I am not going to leave this land, an I will die here as a martyr.” Gaddafi has already sent off tanks and fighter jets against the protests and having foreign forces attack as well. The article’s argument is that Gaddafi is not willing to give up on his position of power, so the only way to remove him from power is my making him.
The Libyan Revolution can relate to the television series Firefly, they both have in common that the Alliance or Gaddafi, both corrupt, will continue to fight until they have their way. Also that both the Alliance and Gaddafi have immoral laws and commit immoral actions even though its regarded as legal since they are the government. In Firefly, maybe there will be some type of revolution or even a small rebellion against the Alliance or that the Browncoats reunite and begin another war against the Alliance.
