Parsing Libya

Regime change in Libya may simply mean that another set of killers will be in charge. Or maybe all we are seeing is the pent-up frustration of an oppressed people. Hard to say from where I sit.

Pepe Escobar is pretty skeptical about the outcome. He's questioned the motives behind the whole affair since Day One. I'd say about the only safe bet is that the corporations and international banks will do well.
