The Future of Libya

For whatever reason, the US and NATO have decided to depose Libya's Qaddafi.  Who will take over after Qaddafi is gone is the real question that needs to be asked...
I predict that NATO airstrikes will continue until Qaddafi is killed.  I also predict that Qaddafi's sons will seek revenge for their father's death - primarily blaming the United States.
After Qaddafi is killed, his sons will see the writing on the wall and leave Libya to its Fate.  Extremists amongst the rebels will no doubt come to the forefront after this happens.
Libya will probably follow the Lead of Egypt and hold elections which like in Egypt will bring a more Radical Islam into positions of power.  It is likely that the new Libyan government will be allied with the Muslim Brotherhood and make Israel their primary enemy.
Qaddafi's sons will probably go into hiding to support terror plots against the United States and NATO.
Just why the US and NATO bothered to get involved in Libya will probably be an important question for future historians - as it will obviously lead to a More Radical Leader than Qaddafi ever was...
