Definitely won't be a stalemate. The UN resolution covers all of Libya. That means that people inside Gadaffi-controlled cities will be covered by it as well. If they start to protest again and are shot at, the bombing will start. If they start to protest again and Gadaffi does not interfere, the protests will grow and eventually the regime will fall. I do not see a way out for Gadaffi anymore, it's only a question of how many more Libyans are going to die before he leaves or is killed.
