In an act of supreme irony, the US, France, Italy, Germany, Spain and Britain have said the forces of disruption “will not be allowed to condemn Libya to chaos and extremism”. But the NATO attack did precisely that, creating a disaster with two competing “governments”, rampant militias, dwindling oil revenues, and 3,000 people killed in the past year. Hundreds of thousands are fleeing the country, causing chaos in other countries too.
