http://rt.com/op-edge/176376-libya-officially-failed-state/ Yep...another state crumbles in on itself after the US "helps the...good...guys"? It really makes you go back to the beginning to examine the whole thing again. At some point, almost out of the blue, the US decides to single out Ghaddafi as a huge threat because he was attacking his own people. We go in under the proposed intention of liberating people, but it seems the only effects are the toppling of generally anti-US regimes, and, about a half a year later, the implosion of the state. Afghanistan...Iraq...tried to get into Iran...Libya...Lebanon...tried to get into Syria...Crimea...Whose next? Who else needs America's "help"? I understand these places were not great before the US, but certainly not the nightmare they are now. Instead of making things better, the pattern seems to suggest horrific destabilization.
india kicked out all of the europeans and hong kong is propped up by japanese and chinese economy. afrika is surrounded by the middle east, an even bigger failed state (due to europeans) Gee, thanks europe for screwing up half the known world.
Really we should have avoided Libya because what's replaced it is a fragile regime and many militias that refuse to disarm and will most likely revert to gangsterism. Libya risks long term instability and a second civil war.
really? its not even obscure. its not like europe has ever hidden its agenda to destroy Afrika at any opportunity.
how? . - - - Updated - - - really? iknow this forum is, thats what politics is about in the west, standard protocol.
Ethiopia was under European occupation for a grand total of 5 years. and yet, they are still a failed state. Looks like failed statehood is an African trait.
The US isn't to blame for the meltdown in Libya... it was a long time coming and there was nothing we could actually do except hope for the best.. The loss of Idris as well as Wheelus and Tobruk years ago set the stage for this mess.
Really. Europe hasn't been trying to destroy Africa particularly since it was a NATO operation. Ghaddafi was a real prat when it came to foreign affairs including funding terrorism and as well as trying to start up a nuclear research programme.
that is europes fault, specifically the british. read the nile treaty so- called agreement. - - - Updated - - - so prior to 1950 europe was trying to destroy Afrika? is that your position?
wow, you didnt read the treaty, what a surprise. ilove research, guess when you despise Afrika then their is no motivation to research, sigh.
