O Libyans, why are you repeating the mistakes of the past? Why give your allegiance to the Senussi who probably didn't create Kaddafi, but did certainly create the conditions which fostered his rise to power. They had their chance to rule Libya and they squandered it. Do not give the house of Senussi another chance to destroy generations of Libyans. I will never submit to the Senussi simply because of their supposed birthright.
Benghazi, why do you use your suffering under the House of Kaddafi to try and split up my homeland? Simply because you have most of the oil is not reason enough to try and divide our nation. If the Libyan people can't even put aside their regional and tribal differences to work together for a better future, the Middle East is doomed. All Libyans must be rational, intelligent, and pragmatic in order to make the Libyan state successful. If Libya fails, the Arab Spring will usher in a new age of anarchy and petty fiefdoms in Libya instead of a Golden Age.
I must implore my Libyan brothers and sisters to put the weapons aside and peacefully work together to improve the situation of all Libyans. If Benghazi and others such as Misratah or Zintan keep trying to impose their will on the whole of Libyan society, only pain and suffering will follow. I will finally be forced to return to Libya and try and talk some sense into those who stubbornly refuse to recognize that Libya must always stay united and secessionists among us are gravely mistaken.
