Iraq, Yugoslavia, etc.
Remove the lid of totalitarian states, and the ethnic boil overs are inevitable.
This is to be expected.
Hopefully they will get over it.
http://news.antiwar.com/2012/03/26/2...outhern-libya/The trend of Libyan tribal militias getting into epic conflicts over trivial disputes continues today, with reports from a doctor in the far southern city of Sabha saying a fight over ownership of a car left 20 killed and 40 others wounded.
The fight was between one of the local Sabha militias and a Tabu tribal militia, and took place after a Tibu tribesman killed a Abu Seif tribesman over the car ahead of a planned meeting between the two tribes. The toll was extremely preliminary, and the doctor said that the “40 wounded” only counted Sabha wounded, as the Tibu forces took their casualties to a different hospital.
This is the second major clash the Tabu tribe have found themselves in in a little over a month. Last month, the tribe fought with the Zwia near the southern town of Kufra (further east and south than Sabha), with some 50 civilians killed in the fight.
Libyan National Transitional Council (NTC) leader Mustafa Abdul-Jalil conceded that Libya is suffering with instability, and insisted that it was because the rest of the NTC “lacks confidence” and isn’t being more forceful.

That is correct, actually.I normally don't agree with these descriptions. But after this thread, I agree 100%
"Iraq invading Kuwait did not trigger the war. The fact that Saddam defied the resolution to withdraw is what really triggered it."
homeboy got a few screws loose
not knowing the meaning of the word INVASION
After the invasion came the demands to withdraw, which were ignored.
Basically Saddam got what he thought was a green light to grab it, because he badly misinterpreted some diplomatic communications.
After he was in, he didn't think the West would have the werewithal to get him out.
They may not. Have Iraq and Yugoslavia "gotten over it" yet?
Let me get this strait.
The Libyan civil war starts in February. In March, the UN votes to establish a no fly zone during a conflict.
You idiots who supported this effort fell for the "poor civilian" aspect.
It was a civil war in progress for a month already.
I guess nobody wants a self sufficient Arab country.
Yep, we took out gaddafi and now radical muslims have taken over the country and killed an american.
You guys really need to revisit what you think our involvement in Libya has been since the beginning. Your revisioning is expected if unfounded.
First off, the French and British led that particular charge and we gave assistance to our NATO allies. We have not had any police action or nation building beyond regular diplomatic interactions. Our political alternative in the GOP was asking for us to do more there which should be self evident.
No revisionism here. I'm just looking at the facts.
So?
We shouldn't have. We should have used the veto.
That's all we needed.
I would ask for proof of this only because I don't believe anything you say. You are a confirmed troll and liar here. However, it doesn't matter. If true, it is still wrong.
Umm exactly where have I intentionally misled people? If you are going to make that accusation you should at least back it up.
You lie all the time.
No need to. It's so obvious, I know others see it.
An example? Or are you just going to be a little about it?
You are too pathetic for me to waste but a few keystrokes at a time. How do I get that time back? You are so unimportant to me, I don't care. I would be more willing to spend time with people like Mouse. At least he isn't a chronic liar. He's just misguided.
Ok. Little it is.
In WC's defense on this one I tend to ignore FuzzyLumpkins too. His aggressive ignorance and constant mis-characterizations of positions is just not worth wasting time over. He's like the screaming out of control little kid running through the adults tail party.
and cowboys pussification moves on.
And Clambake is just a tiny fraction higher than FuzzyLumpkins on the quality poster list. Just a blonde pubic hair of separation.
Nobody is as dumb as a dumb man who thinks he’s smart.
What mischaracterizations? I freely admit that I am adversarial, mean and pedantic at times but fail to see the validity of your general dismissal here.
You going to be a little about it too?
I don't talk to meanies, Fuzzy. Consider yourself shunned.
i just heard some old dumbass say that if obama were prez in 62, cuba would have soviet nukes!
anybody else hear that gem!
It's interesting. You accuse me of characterizations but then turn around and do nothing but since that time.
I do not know if you have been drinking again or not but at some level you have to be aware of the hypocrisy in that. Such cognitive dissonance, hypocrisy, and forsaking of values is the hallmark of your generation so it shouldn't be surprising.
Generational smack? Get off my lawn.
