«"For 42 years you never saw the unity of the people like the last three weeks," he said. "Gaddafi made people distrust each other. There might be two brothers. One would register with Gaddafi's revolutionary committee and have opportunities. He would get land for free and a car and be very well paid. But the other brother did not want to get his hands dirty with the regime and would have nothing. They hated each other. This country is like those two brothers."»

«Libyans are acutely aware that the view of their country overseas was shaped almost entirely by the cult of Gaddafi and the image of him as mad, unstable and a terrorist. "He made us ashamed of our country," said Iman Bugaighis, a lecturer in dentistry at the city's university, who has become the spokeswoman for the revolutionary council. "He took away our dignity. It was all about him, never about the people. He thought he was Libya. Everything was about loyalty to him. He changed the flag. It was his flag, not our flag. He changed the name of the country. He even changed the names of the months."»

«"We were given a mask for 42 years. It was the mask of Gaddafi," said Langhi, the Benghazi doctor. "He stole all of our identities. There was only Gaddafi."
....
Langhi, the doctor, wants to see Libya's oil riches work for the people: "Look at the state of our hospitals when we have so much oil. People have to go to Egypt or Tunisia for operations. One of the priorities we have to discover is how to use the money for the people – health, education, housing." In a country so rich on paper, there are families in Benghazi living in containers.»

«But one self-delusion was blown away by the uprising. Gaddafi's most visible son, Saif al-Islam, persuaded many people, from international human rights groups to the London School of Economics, that he stood for change for the better. Many Libyans believed it, too.
"Saif was educated abroad. Young people were persuaded he was trying to reform in the face of resistance from his father and family," said Tuwahni. "People loved him, even if nothing ever happened. He was a glimpse of hope, all the kids loved him. They wanted him to be president."
But the mask was ripped away in the first days of the revolution as Saif went on TV with bloodcurdling threats of revenge against the protesters.
"Saif's speech shocked people," said Tuwahni. "He came out with his father's face. All the kids were waiting for his speech. They were expecting a lot. It was a disaster. We knew then there could be no compromise. We will have to fight until they are defeated or we are."»
