    That the sectarian divide does not exist here like it does in Iraq is of little consequence. That would imply that regions where everyone is the same sect enjoys automatic peace, when in fact the members of the same sect then disintegrate and fight over power and money, and even more so when the money in question is coming from the Grand Endless Money Tree of the West.

    I want it wo work out for them, really I do. But so far all we have seen is posturing and people too quick to pull the trigger and cry "success!" , whihc seems to be an all-too-common mistake with nation building these days
    I think you need more than money to start an insurrection or Civil War - you need an "us" and a "them". You do have an East-West divide in Libya, and the country may fracture along those lines, but right now it seems people don't want​ it to. In the absence of a foreign power to blame for Libya's ills I think the average Libyan wants to get on with his life more than anything else.
