It appears that there was some organizing forces that wanted Gadhafi out and was actively working towards that which is probably why the reaction has been so harsh. Didn't they have a plane shot down the other day?

OK, I cannot speak to exactly what they have or don't have or how long the discontent has been growing. My point is there is ample evidence that Gadhafi was planning on exacting violent revenge on his civilian population. His planes bombed towns and cities without regard for the civilian population, I'm not sure that any anti-aircraft weapons weren't confiscated from his forces. It is reported that the "rebels" had one aircraft that was shot down but the details of that are rather unclear at present.
