Yeah, it's not like this was ancient history.

Mobius, I seriously can't figure out if you're just trolling, or if you really believe your own bullshit on Libya

-Arrian

No, you're all right and I hold my hands up and admit that I was wrong in this case.

I think, IIRC (probably not!), that what I was getting at was that I was the first to say that partition wasn't necessarily a bad thing and that the fighting would grind to a halt between Brega and Ajdabiya, as it has. My reasoning is that the borders of post-colonial countries such as Libya are artificial constructs, hence why neither side is able to effectively advance beyond its areas of support. So perhaps we should be looking at dismantling these vestiges of colonial rule and moving toward a situation where all these different and disparate groups that have been arbitrarily lumped together are given the opportunity of self rule.

This is what I was driving at when I engaged foot into mouth, which I'm not denying that I did.
