Simply put: The Libyan revolution had no clear winner or leader. Libya's infrastructure was bombed into the stone-age. And who will manage the recovery, reconstruction and money?

The only unanswered question is when is this puppet government going to stop torturing and raping African prisoners and other migrants on a daily basis? As well as when they will release U.N. official Dr. Abuzaid Omar Dorda, who they've been holding and torturing after attempting to assassinate him several times. The puppet government has already thrown this man off the top of a building in a assassination attempt on his life while imprisoned. Lucky for him he had the good graces to survive the fall but is still being held and tortured. Human Rights organization are such a joke in this world if not complete tools.

There are many unknown factors in the Libya.   How new care taker in the Libya is going to move forward?   I think that new care taker have to do two things.   How to take care of domestic affairs   How to restablish with international communities   Do they [care taker of the Libya] ready to launch two things at the same thing?   In my opinion, they [care taker of the Libya] have to do steps-by steps.

Hand in weapons and remove brigades? Sounds fictional when so many bad deeds have been done, or the resistance has no bullets left..

(9) NATO rebels threw a young girl from 10th floor of a hotel room in the Tunisian capital, after she was raped by multiple rebels and then thrown out of the window.   You complete and utter idiot, i guess there are still some out there brainwashed (or bigoted) enough to still support an evil tyrant like Gaddafi, but I don't suppose you've got any proof of those 'points' other than your deluded opinion or those of other Gaddafi fanboys?

Well played, strip the citizens of their weapons so no one can stand against your new regime.

That is what always happens...

I did not get it; during old time they earned a $2 per day, now nothing? What is the purpose of blood shed, then???????????????? ????I tell you what, the bank’s theory that only the war make country's modernization and progress is WRONG as well as spending funds on weapons. War must be prohibited in any forms, especially no fly zones. NATO must be dismissed, UN must be re-elected.
