It's more of a "We should have done less" than a "We should have done more."<br /><br />Of course, that version of the critique presumes that Libya would have righted itself without NATO action, and I think that's plainly bullocks, too. It's just as easy to imagine a dragged-out disintegration with similar consequences as it is to imagine the genie being stuffed back into the bottle.Jay Ulfelderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18370458560135965232noreply@blogger.com
