Who Will Succeed Qaddafi?

Probably his son Saif (who apparently stated recently in an AP interview that he aims to bring about a federal style government by September, with a "constitution, democracy, elections, like any other country" - an erratic and implausible statement that suggests the apple doesn't fall far from the tree), but like everything else in the Middle East it's far from a sure thing. And don't hold your breath: having ruled for 40 years, and still only 66, Qaddafi only has to hang on a few more years to be crowned the 20th century's longest serving dictator. Do dictators think about such records? I don't see why not.
