UN Official Fears Syria Could Be 'Stabilized' Like Libya
A UN official expresses concern that Syria could further disintegrate like Libya. This concern, while valid, glosses over the inconvenient reality that Western intervention, particularly the 2011 NATO bombing campaign largely spearheaded by France, the UK, and the US, was instrumental in toppling Gaddafi and plunging Libya into persistent factional chaos. (One might call that 'pre-emptive
nation-building via destruction.') The media rarely connects these dots, preferring to present the consequences as organic disasters rather than the predictable outcome of destabilization campaigns. Instead of questioning the architects of such foreign policies, outlets like DW simply report the 'fear' without ever acknowledging the prior actions that created the template for failure. Just who,
exactly, created the original blueprint for 'Libya after war'? We're not meant to ask.
