Just a couple weeks ago, the mood in the Libyan rebel stronghold Benghazi was quite different than today. Billboards, such as this one on a highway in Benghazi, admonished foreigners to stay away and let the Libyan people -- like their brethren in Egypt and Tunisia -- complete their revolution on their own. This opinion changed during Libyan leader Muammar al-Qaddafi's brutal counter-offensive into rebel-controlled territory in the east over the past week.
