Useful info and great post, @clarityofsignal. It's interesting that we rarely hear a peep out of any of the three-letter media agencies regarding Libya. It was blown to bits and then the Libyan people left to suffer the consequences of those actions. A former secular state, now being ruled by hardcore Salafist Saudi's. It proves our media has no true empathy - nor do the "progressives" who still support the MSM.
By contrast, the rebuilding process in Syria is in full-swing. Syrians are being re-patriated. Peace is breaking out there. Therfore, people should expect another regional "incident" in that region in the very near future.
