Libya’s capital of Tripoli has become the latest epicenter of the historic Middle East protests. Ruler Muammar el-Qaddafi responded by sending out militiamen and warplanes as his son warned that Libya was no Egypt or Tunisia. We discuss what makes Libya different from its neighbors and its death toll so far, and we’ll get an update on the unrest in Bahrain and Yemen.
