Where is Libya's way out of crisis? (Chinese view)
Posted by: tipper || 04/21/2011 10:15 || Comments || Link || [0 views] Top|| File under:

#1  Some interesting view, then this:

Any political solution should be controlled by the Libyan people themselves, Turbi added.

Rasmussen acknowledged last Friday that ultimately there is no "purely military solution" to the crisis in Libya and that is why the international community is urgently seeking a political settlement.

No one seems to be able to articulate what a "political settlement" might look like. Ya think Moo-mar is gonna let the rebels sit in his new parliment?

America's Best Worst Partner in Africa
The African Union is hardly an exemplary organization. But ignoring its concerns about Western intervention in Libya is a recipe for disaster.

#1  The AU can make the UN look good.

We are in the age of transnationalism (although noting that some like China and Russia give it little more than lip service), and it will take a major geopolitical shock to change things.
