What Do We do about Libya NOW
With the U.S. and NATO's thumb firmly on the scale, the balance of power in Libya seems to be shifting steadily toward the rebel forces. That's bad news for the Qaddafi family, though their lack of attractive alternatives to fighting on makes it unlikely that they will simply surrender. This outcome is also not that surprising, as the Libyan military was never a first-class fighting force and it was not going to have real trouble standing up to the rebel forces once they started getting lots of outside help.

Libya: Three rookie errors
In March, when China and Russia refused to veto UN Security Council resolution 1973 (authorising the use of force against Libya), alarm bells should have been ringing in Washington. The arch-realists in Beijing and Moscow were no converts to the lofty liberalism that suddenly overtook US foreign policy, nor keen to embrace a more elastic conception of sovereignty. They were just being pragmatic.

Stressés, les yeux fatigués, les Français rapatriés dans la nuit de Tripoli ont raconté la tension, l'attente et la peur dans la capitale libyenne où ils ont "tout laissé derrière eux", aujourd'hui à l'aéroport de Roissy, au nord de Paris.

"Nous sommes soulagés", souffle une jeune maman avec sa fille dans les bras.
