The new Libya: various aspects

[Dayuhan]

I'm not sure what you've seen that's convinced you that the NTC is, or has the capability of becoming, an effective organizing force. Whatever it is, I haven't spotted it.

They are what's there. They haven't been there long, hence their capacity remains minimal. I don't think Libyans have any less capacity to organize or any less incentive to organize than anyone else. Whether they will or not is up to them. Now they have the choice, before they didn't. We helped bring them a choice, not salvation. How they use it is up to them.

I didn't expect Gaddafi would be read his rights--I expected he'd get a bad death, because he didn't seem like the type to quit and he hadn't left his enemies a reason to allow him any dignity.

Exactly. Karma's a bitch.
