My Comment: Russian concerns are justified. I am sure that NATO and/or coalition partners have a plan to intervene into Libya if everything goes to hell .... i.e. a collapse of the Libyan government and state institutions, total anarchy followed by violence, coupled with a dysfunctional and disorganized Libyan opposition group that cannot come to some agreement to establish a structure that will rule Libya.
