Looking Ahead in Libya: Power and Politics in a Post-Gadhafi World

Rebels have launched an assault on Moammar Gadhafi's compound in Tripoli, even as the dictator remains in hiding. As what appear to be the final rounds of battle play out, questions are being raised about Libya's future.

On this rebroadcast of today's To the Point, guest host Sara Terry explores who will control the nation's oil reserves, and how oil wealth will be used. What impact will events in Libya have on the rest of the region, and how should the West respond?
