9. There's a lot of propaganda overhyping Libya's dire straits

Of course Libya has serious problems post-Ghadaffi. That was predicted, understood and acknowledged well before he fell.

There also have been a lot of positive developments in Libya after Ghadaffi.

But I don't want to hijack this thread to re-fight who was right or wrong on Libya. The ultimate result there won't be known for a long time, so it's premature for any of us to claim victory.

We can find common cause only in hoping for the best.
