As of today, 30 March 2011, the Libyan army has the rebels on run, the rebels are out-matched. There is a discussion going on about "arming" the rebels; However, what do you give untrained civilians to counter the Libyan army. The only weapons that could possible be given to the rebels that does not require extensive training are RPG's and the only one that are available to take out armor are RPG-7's. These weapons have about a 50% accuracy at around 200 meters (approx 220 yrds), the only problem is that they are Russian. NATO does not have an equivalent weapon as far as I know. Appears that unless NATO gets involved to a greater degree things are going to go to hell in a hand basket
