I don't claim to be any great font of knowledge on war, invasion the demolition of some regimes and the rise of others, but I have noticed this. Getting the big guy to step down whether it's Gaddafi, Saddam or Egypt's Mubarak doesn't seem to be the most trialling part, yes it takes huge courage and determination to put your life on the line and fight for what you believe in, but all in all that appears to be the easier bit. Egypt’s, Mubarak stepped down in February, it's now August and things don't appear to be getting better; the countries still under military rule with talks of a second up-rising varying groups of people all with varying views of which direction the country should head. And everyone knows the case in Iraq although forces managed to capture Saddam and claimed to have the city “secure” within a year, it’s now 2011 (7’ish years on) and yes it's better, but to what extent? Anyway I suppose my point is without continuation of the media spotlight on Libya and a clear plan for the country, it is scary to think what could happen and how long it could take, forming a government isn't an easy task especially when there are so many people grabbing for that power and a vast array of views on how the country should be run. I hope everything goes smoothly and I’m just being cynical but I fear it will not; what do you think?
