Libya's Pleas For International Help Go Unanswered -- Deutsche Welle
Politicians in restless Libya have called on the United Nations to take measures to protect civilians. How this could be done, however, remains unclear. The international community's options are limited.
The appeal came from Libya's far northeast in the coastal city of Tobruk, near the border with Egypt and around 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) east of the capital Tripoli. That's how far the newly appointed parliament has fled to escape the attacks and shootings in the capital.
Libyan politicians urged the United Nations to take steps to protect civilians and institutions in the north African conflict zone. They did not specify what the international assistance should look like in Wednesday's appeal, issued amid continued unrest around the country. The majority of international embassies and the UN aid mission for Libya, UNSMIL, pulled out their staff long ago.

1. To revisit Libya would be to cast a bad light on Obama's foreign policy.
2. America is already at war ... with itself. I have taken it for granted that people & factions want to win. It thought in America, we were civilized and that factions would go no farther than FDR.
I am not so sure anymore. I have read biographies on MAO. I have to do more reading and checking. MAO was willing to kill whole armies not out of military necessity but to obtain power with in the CCP, politburo, Secretariat and ultimate power. if one looks at the minutiae, there is not other explanation IMO. The CCP started with 80,000 soldiers at the beginning of the Long March and ended with 10,000. They lost most of those. Who is left to write the histories, but Mao for the longest time?
MAO was willing to sacrifice entire armies for personal power. I can very will see local, state & national level leaders in the U.S. fomenting race riots and exacerbate racial tension for power. People are killed or impoverished by the riots. They do not care.
This is a very good article on the race baiting.

The DoD runs various wargames, since forever. What John Q. Public might not know is they run them on economic warfare too. Supposedly, we lost to China. Maybe they tweaked the game so as to send a wake up call, maybe we lost. Maybe it is the vagaries of changes or model design. I get that.
Here is my point. The DoD runs simulation of economic warfare. The center at west point had a paper on the dangers of right wing extremism ...well because Janet Napolitano and others were scared and needed a red herring. I was leery of those guys (like the Aryan Nations) in the 1980s, but I just do not see it anymore.
What the DoD needs to conduct a Wargame on is what happens when race mongers like Jesse Jackson , Al Sharpton, academia, Farahkhan, and all the people in the Obama administration stoke racial tension.
If they don't ____ them!
