By On Thursday I was on Alyona, talking Libya…
Some long form links on Libyan politics and the uprising, including some older pieces that are still interesting:
While we’re tallying the costs and benefits of the intervention in Libya, we can say that a potential massacre in Benghazi was averted, and that the probable destruction of the rebel movement was also at least delayed. We obviously can’t say that it’s had any kind of meaningful positive effect on the behavior of other authoritarian states towards resistance movements.
