Pretty easy to "instill" in a country riddled with divides and guns. Like Yugoslavia, once armed ppl start busting in a few doors and yelling "Ya fer us or against us!?" choosing up sides become prudent. I am encouraged by the disarmament that is being attempted and wish them luck.

I'm not talking about funding a civil war with foreign money.

I am talking about the locals fighting over control of the foreign aid, not to mention the resource revenue. Very unlikely to reach civil war proportions. The idea that it could degrade into a northern mexico situation not so unlikely. Either way, I expect there to be homeade bombs.

The Balkans had seen something like a thousand years of war before the Communist State, when it collapsed the tensions it had suppressed erupted to the surface. Those were not manufactured conflicts, they were organic.

Tribal divisions have a history that pre-dates Marx. The Col. used those divisions to keep people divided and weak. His removal might be used to exploit injuries real, perceived or historical for a settling of accounts.

I agree with (what I think) MRD is suggesting; division of spoils is likely to be the main bone of contention. The step from conflict over those particulars to civil war is large, but possible.

I hope the story ends: "And they lived happily ever after." Yes, I really hope that's the outcome.

This looks to be a full-blown scandal for the State Department. Here's an email exchange between Hillary Clinton spokesman, Philippe Reines and Buzzfeed's Michael Hastings...
Hillary Clinton Aide Tells Reporter To “**** Off” And “Have A Good Life”

[Lemur]

Insulting reporters—that always works. Give the man a promotion!

Apparently this all revolves around CNN finding the late ambassador's journal, a bit of a tangled story.

That said, Michael Hastings has one hell of a track record on defense reporting, and anyone stupid enough to curse at him in writing ...

-edit-

Meanwhile, WND asks the hard questions: Was Libyan ambassador gay like our President?

Owwww? After the unelected socialist 'good after the war' Schulz showed what it really means to be a dhimmi by condemning the movie on behalf of the EU it couldn't get worse no? But it seems like the unelected Lady Ashton, naturally from Labour so absolutely in love with anything islam, is working on a European anti-blasphemy law.

Fragony, can you please stop using the term "dhimmi" all the time? It only makes sense in an Islamic state, you can't just slap it on anything.

I've always had the impression of Schultz as a sanctimonious, pontificating attention seeker. His latest antic of condemning the film makers (and the weak excuse of "I comdemned the rioters, too") is just the latest in a row of dissappointing remarks by political leaders to appease islamist rioters while remaining largely silent on freedom of speech. He's elected though - not liking him has no bearing on that simple fact.

There are apparently rumors that the EU is cooperating with some islamic countries for an anti-blasphemy treaty. I smell BS.

Can on EU dhimmi's though I mean it isn't like they aren't paying the djizza by selling out our post-enlightment intellectual capital, maybe it is you who should find a new word for people who are dhimmis by choice, like the unelected 'good after the war' Schulz or the unelected Hell's Angel of political correctness Lady Ashton. It's disgusting to watch them crawl to appease an inferior culture the EU deserves to die.

@Kraz, being elected by unelected people doesn't make you elected, I don't smell BS by the way it is 100% in line with the Eurabia theory
