Re: Unexpected Consequences Reply #1 – 2015-02-20, 02:06:41 Sadly on that issue you reap what you sow but still terrible. As for the Libya mess blame the West for another example of onterfering. Now the place is awash with militias, two governments and falling apart. They should bring the monarchy back.

Re: Unexpected Consequences Reply #7 – 2015-02-20, 19:32:21 Oh dear mjsmsprt40 yet again you show how wonky Americans are with a little bit of knowledge of the outside world. Just for you I would remind that Libya had a parliament and constitutional monarchy and the King who was quite old had went overseas for an important operation and while away a certain wacky Colonel whom you should know of mounted a coup and took over the country. He dispensed with all parties etc so blame the right man.
