Is Libya next?

It appears there's a call for a mass protest on February 17. I have a feeling the Libyan government will be a little harsher than the Egyptians.

A writer who called for peaceful mass protests in Libya like those in Tunisia and Egypt has been arrested on the pretext of an alleged car accident, Amnesty International said.

The human rights group said Jamal al-Hajji, who has dual Libyan and Danish nationality, was arrested on Feb. 1 shortly after he issued a call on the Internet for demonstrations in support of greater freedoms in the North African country.

Political parties are banned in Libya, public dissent is rare and rights groups say many opponents of leader Muammar Gaddafi are in jail. But Gaddafi says Libyans enjoy greater democracy than in Western countries because of their system of grass-roots government.

And nobody will be able to replace the Libyan Fashionista for style.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
