"Since 2011, Libya has rapidly unraveled in much the way Iraq did following that invasion: swamped by militia rule, factional warfare, economic devastation, and complete lawlessness. And to their eternal shame, most self-proclaimed 'humanitarians' who advocated the Libya intervention completely ignored the country once the fun parts – the war victory dances and mocking of war opponents – was over. The feel-good 'humanitarianism' of war advocates, as usual, extended only to the cheering from a safe distance as bombs dropped."
