On the Radar: Day 15 of Libyan protests, Sheen on CNN, Florida wildfires.

Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, is calling Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi “delusional.” Her remark followed Gadhafi’s ABC interview in which he insisted that there are no protests in Libya and that citizens “love” him. It is actually day 15 of massive protests in the chaotic country. Thousands are demanding Gadhafi’s ouster, as the world wonders what would happen if he did step down. Enigmatic and eccentric, he has ruled Libya for more than 40 years. As night fell Monday, forces loyal to him tried to retake the town of Zawiya with tanks and anti-aircraft guns, an opposition leader said Tuesday. The town, which is a short drive from Tripoli, the capital, seemed to be in control of those who oppose Gadhafi, so the pro-Gadhafi crowd was stopped, the opposition leader said. CNN journalists are on the ground in Libya and across the Middle East and North Africa to bring you background on the crisis in Libya. Other countries across the region have seen unprecedented protests calling for changes in government to reflect a more democratic models. CNN’s Fareed Zakaria breaks down the history that led to the uprisings, and he urges the U.S. to recognize Libya’s new provisional government led by anti-Gadhafi forces. What are the U.S.’s options for Libya? The Obama administration has said nothing is off the table.
