Libya was once a working country now its like Afghanistan. thanks ...

Chaos.

How does nation building feels like when you destroy a perfectly working country with a leader/system you didn't like too much?

I'm sure there is more death now than there was under the old regime.

I'm sure your arms industry thanks you and the military for target practice.

Isn't it enough death and chaos you in Iraq and Afghanistan?

I'm sure the you gonna find Iran as excuse to stay in both when the troop pullback date comes. If that doesn't work you'll pull some China bogeyman card.

come on how many more countries need to be in chaos would your arms industry be happy?

I'm not sure who you're ranting and raving against but the "merchants of chaos" in this case were the Libyan people must like the Egyptians tossed Mubarak. In any event, the fact that NATO has decided to help the rebels or freedom fighters or whatever you want to call them is something that in 100 years or so will determine whether they were right or wrong. Libya is not Iraq where the leaders of the U.S. decided to cajole and urge other countries to join in a war that shouldn't have been started to begin with. Hopefully both of these conflicts will end soon with the ones in Afghanistan and Pakistan not far behind.

Personally, I don't and won't support any government that is not democratically elected, which is why I have no faith in the governments elected in New York. The city, state and federal districts are so gerrymandered that it will take a revolution (hopefully political and figurative, and not military) to restore representative government in the empire state. Thank you Tammany Hall.

rebels wouldn't this long and many rebels would of died sadly. but it wouldn't be a dysfunctional state as it is. generations would suffer from this. no schools. no jobs besides fighting. death every where. only people benefiting from this is arms merchants.

how long can you hold someones hands? rebels are not a monolithic group they range from idealist democratic aspiring people to jihadist etc.... they are only holding on because of west bombings and embargoes against the government.
