inevitable outcome. As if we had not seen it before. We're not very good at 'creating democracies'. We tend to put puppets, like Maliki in Iraq eg, in power, dictators who are willing to brutalize their own people.

I wish it had turned out differently for the Libyan people but there was no way it could have resulted in anything other than this.

Sadly this is how all of our foreign interventions end up for the innocent victims who happen to live where 'we have interests'. Same thing is happening in Ukr right now, and like Libya those of us who insist on stating facts, will be attacked, as we were on Iraq and Afghanistan, told what beautiful democracies we were opposed to. So I don't really care. It's enough that our Corporate Media lies but we at least on Democratic forums, don't have to.
