Is the fall of Libyan regime imminent?

The son of the Libyan dictator (sayf al-Islam): 

“We will fight until the last man, the last woman”
Libya's former ambassador to the Arab League in Cairo, Abdel-Moneim al-Houni: 

"Gadhafi's regime is now in the trash of history because he betrayed his nation and his people,"
A Libyan diplomat in China, Hussein el-Sadek el-Mesrati, told Al-Jazeera: 

"I resigned from representing the government of Mussolini and Hitler."
a 28-year-old protester said

"They (Gadhafi supporters) were driving like madmen searching for someone to kill. ... It was total chaos, shooting and shouting."

Omar Amer, a member of the Libyan Youth Movement, a protest group that spreads its message through Facebook.
"Kadafi's biggest mistake was that he built his whole regime on pure fear. He totally abandoned civilizing Libya. He neglected education and development projects. He left the majority of his people in the dark ages and built his might on fear through torturing and killing political dissidents in public.
"But the fear that Kadafi built his empire with is gone, and that was his last shelter."

Deputy permanent representative (UN), Ibrahim Dabbashi the New York Times:

“We are sure that what is going on now in Libya is crimes against humanity and crimes of war. We find it is impossible to stay silent and we have to transfer the voice of the Libyan people to the world,” 

“We state clearly that the Libyan mission is a mission for the Libyan people,” he said. “It is not for the regime. The regime of Qaddafi has already started the genocide against the Libyan people.” 

"Either he gets out or the Libyan people will kick him out. He's trying to just delay his fate."

Asked if the regime is now crumbling, Mr Dabbashi said:
"Yes it is the end of the game. We will soon see the fall of this regime."
