#1 Yes, what goes on in Libya is the west's responsibility. Perhaps what is necessary is for one of the countries in the west to take special interest in the Libyans. To guide them and train them in the ways of civilization. To feed them and clothe them, like the rambunctious juveniles they are. Italy, perhaps?

#2 "When the regime collapsed, the state collapsed as well. And when the regime collapsed, everyone disappeared."

Revisionist history so SOON? The regime didn't "callapse".... the country was overthrown and 'sprockets' was brutally murdered. The only reason the US State Department standard program of Nation Building has not kick-in is where fresh outta cash and the Chinese see no reason to back the loan.

#3 Don't think 'nation building' was ever in the plans. Libya was a test case.

Sorry, dudes - you were lab rats.
