As World leaders at the G8 summit in France issued a joint call for the embattled Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi to step down. The real question to be asked is this: Can the Libyan conflict be resolved swiftly with the recent pronouncement?

Though, there is no doubt that the current Libya leader, Col Gaddafi, has lost all legitimacy yet it is clear that the exit strategy is not clear and the eagerness of some western leaders to get Gaddafi before the war crime was one of the reasoning behind the ongoing difficulty in resolving this poliitcal saga. 

The solution to this problem will be the removal of the world crime proposed investigation and allowing Col Gaddafi safe passage out of Libya to ensure that the country does not become another Iraq.
