Tim Dickinson writes: "In recent years, at mosques throughout eastern Libya, radical imams have been 'urging worshippers to support jihad in Iraq and elsewhere,' according to WikiLeaked cables. More troubling: The city of Derna, east of Benghazi, was a 'wellspring' of suicide bombers that targeted US troops in Iraq."

RSN Special Coverage: Egypt's Struggle for Democracy

 

Comments  

We are concerned about a recent drift towards vitriol in the RSN Reader comments section. There is a fine line between moderation and censorship. No one likes a harsh or confrontational forum atmosphere. At the same time everyone wants to be able to express themselves freely. We'll start by encouraging good judgment. If that doesn't work we'll have to ramp up the moderation.

General guidelines: Avoid personal attacks on other forum members; Avoid remarks that are ethnically derogatory; Do not advocate violence, or any illegal activity.

Remember that making the world better begins with responsible action.

history goes in cycle - Reagan bombed Tripoli - in 1986 - supporting "freedom fighters" - today AL Kaida.

Now Obama sends 120 + Tomahawks to support the same terrorists. Wants 2nd term as Reagan? It is unbelievable how stupid our military is.

Of course, The US created the Mujahadeen and has via Saudi Arabia also created the Taliban. The has used these fighters to run proxy wars in Bosnia, Georgia, Chechnia, Central Asia, and now Libya. This is not a mistake. The Jihadists are US proxy fighters. This is, however, a shotgun marriage. Both sides -- the US and the Jihadists -- also believe that in the end each will defeat the other.

Activista is right. The US military is stupid beyond belief, but I would add also criminal. It is a global gangster.

It is Cyrenaica against Tripolitania and who will control Oil. King ghosts of 40 years ago are back.
It is not only military - but also State Department - no knowledge at all.
Our bomb approach to diplomacy - Sarkozy ego and political ambitions of AIPAC Hillary - great plot how to eliminate Obama in next year election. Bill Clinton is smart - Hillary 2012
