Is Saif Gadhafi Libya’s Hope?

The Takeaway

Talks are underway in Qatar to try to establish a way forward for Libya, where fighting continues. Col. Gadhafi continues his attacks, while NATO has stepped in to help the rebel forces. NATO will remain in the country until the departure of Gadhafi. However, who will lead the country? Benjamin Barber is a senior fellow at Demos in New York and author of “Strong Democracy” and “Jihad vs. McWorld.” He says that Gadhafi’s son, Saif Gadhafi may need to play a role in the government. The BBC’s Nick Childs reports on the meeting in Qatar.
