The Old Imperialist Project to Divide Libya in Three has been Executed

Banks might be too big to fail, but empires aren't. If it's true that no amount of money is unsquanderable, then neither is any degree of power. It is hard to see how the war in Libya is anything other than a massive failure thus far.

The division of Libya into three separate countries has been an old imperialist objective of the U.S., Britain, Italy, and France. There have been at least five attempts to divide Libya. The NATO war launched against Libya in 2011 is merely the latest attempt to bring this about. The July 2011 gathering in Istanbul of NATO is really discussing the occupational phase of the war, which will attempt to send foreign troops into Libya to create a buffer zone between Benghazi and Tripoli. The NATO war, however, has backfired. The Libyan people have united to save their country and Tripoli is exploring its strategic options. A new strategic axis may even form between Iran, Algeria, Syria, and Libya that would interface with Venezuela, Russia, China, Sudan, and others to oppose Washington.
