Feb. 22, 2011: This image broadcast on Libyan state television shows Libyan leader Muammar al-Qaddafi as he addresses the nation in Tripoli, Libya.
As turmoil in Libya rages for a seventh day Tuesday, the Obama administration so far has offered a cautious response to protesters even as it receives widespread encouragement to take stronger action against dictator Muammar al-Qaddafi.
One lawmaker, Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., said the bloody crackdown in Libya should lead to the end of the Qaddafi regime, but the Obama administration has resisted going that far.
“This is a matter between the Libyan people and the Libyan leadership. Ultimately, they should have every right to choose who leads their country. These are not decisions for the United States,” State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said. (FoxNews.com-AP)
