Libyan Migrant Deaths: Another Cost of 'Democracy' (U.S. Edition)
Four people killed and 91 rescued after two boats capsized off Libya, Al Jazeera reports. Migrants from Bangladesh, Sudan, and Egypt were among those fleeing, presumably, for a better life. What the reports rarely highlight is how Libya became a lawless thoroughfare for human desperation. Remember 2011? The NATO-led intervention, spearheaded by the United States and enthusiastically backed by
figures including Hillary Clinton, ostensibly aimed to 'protect civilians' from Gaddafi. What it delivered was a failed state, an ungoverned coastline, and a booming human trafficking industry. So, when you read about 'migrant tragedies' in the Mediterranean, understand it's not just an act of nature. It's a direct, predictable consequence of Western 'humanitarian' interventions. How many more
lives must be lost before we connect the dots between military 'solutions' and the ensuing global chaos?
