"U.S. Airstrikes in Libya Reveal Limits of Strategy" in a petrie dish developing ISIS malignancies. "Libya’s political leaders are currently divided between two loose political alliances centered on rival Parliaments in the capital, Tripoli, and the eastern city of Tobruk. But the United Nations effort to form a unity government, led by the German diplomat Martin Kobler, has been stymied by the factional differences — based on town, tribe, personality or religious persuasion — that helped set off Libya’s civil war in 2014 and have persistently dogged efforts to resolve it ever since."
When will the Administration accept that air strikes foment chaos rather than order? It is not an instrument for keeping a fragile unity government together. Not until the Allies accept the idea of balkanized Libya, Syria and Iraq where the various tribes and sects split to form independent federal states will there be a diplomatic solution toward pacifying the region.
