Yeah, that never happens. If the members of the regime are looking for a way out, which is what I suspect, the mob bearing arms is not going to be satisfied with some diplomatic overtures. Qaddafi and his soldiers shelled their own people.  Their tanks shot rounds into the houses of what we consider their own people. This is a bit different than shooting people at a march or rally. Both are repugnant and brutal acts, but these people were attacked in their own homes, possibly doing as much as they could to abide by the regime's wishes to avoid getting squashed. Yet, still they died.
This rebel army is disorganized and varied in its goals and desires. I would venture to say that at least a few of them are bent on simple revenge, and as soon as the cracks in the regime begin to widen, they will have their revenge.
