I don't know a damn thing about Libya. Don't claim to. I do know that there was a moment a few years ago when suddenly it became The Good Cause. We had to intervene, because reasons, and because this time we would intervene and it would all go well. Even people who opposed the Iraq war put on their Very Serious Person hats and started lecturing us hippies about Just War and Humanitarian Reasons and Supporting The Rebels or whatever the hell. I can't even remember at this point. I mostly just rolled my eyes because there was nothing to be done except write a few contradictory blog posts and wait for the inevitable "oh, that didn't quite work out as planned."
And it didn't. Don't hear much about Libya from those people anymore. Call me when Humanitarian Reasons involves something more than Bomb Bomb.
