You respond to an article talking about investigation of Ghaddafi-era war crimes by insinuating that those crimes are happening in, and the fault of, the POST-Ghaddafi Libyans? And therefore it's an argument for why we should have stood by and let Ghaddafi slaughter people and conduct these kind of systematic campaigns of brutality?

Do you realize that you're basically saying we shouldn't care about war crimes?
