My impression is, that Libya is at least split into two major factions and as they are bound in their internal conflict there is no international politic any more. Which conveniently allowed the west to mostly forget about Libya.
I saw a heartbreaking report about the disaster region yesterday. One interesting aspect were hints that this disaster might have stimulated more cooperation inside Libya. May be this is a starting point for sorting out their internal political problems. I would really wish it to the people of Libya.
- sokoloff 3y agoThe US experienced a significant unifying force 22 years and 4 days ago. The effect was very clearly only temporary.
- the-dude 3y agoIt was still far too long.
- csomar 3y agoLast time I visited the US, the TSA still exists. Pretty sure the effects have remained. Not sure about the "unifying force" fantasy though.

- sokoloff 3y agoI was in the US on Thursday September 6th and Thursday September 13th. From everything I observed in the days and weeks following, there was a massive increase in feelings and expressions of unity. (These were also temporary.)
