It may be goodbye to Gaddafi, but it’s far from Mission Accomplished

The situation in Libya is full of uncertainties and ambiguities, and the ultimate outcome is very problematical.

The rebels are replete with former employees of the dictator. Have they really changed?

Apart from that there is no agreement about anything among the opposition with the exception of getting rid of Gaddafi.

The NATO action has been expensive and destructive. It is based upon sophistry, and a bizarre interpretation of a Security Council Resolution.

Oil interests are already making plans for exploitation of the country.

So what does the future really hold?


It may be goodbye to Gaddafi, but it’s far from Mission Accomplished:

Those who suggest Libya could be a template for intervention are deluded. War should be a last resort, not the first or only option.
