Libya: UN air strikes aid rebels [3]. JWR Notes: I still have a lot of “cui bono?” questions about this military adventure [4]. Why are the French so heavily involved? What reconstructions deals were made, in order to create the coalition? Why was Germany so incensed that they withdrew their troops from NATO? Is Gaddafi’s gold reserve an issue? How about the Libyan Dinar? (Were there plans to make it a gold-backed currency [5]? That would have been an embarrassment to all the other nations that issue fiat.) Why is there a double standard with other Arab dictatorships? What is Al Qaeda’s involvemen [6]t? And the 64-Dollar Question: What sort of government will replace Gaddafi’s dictatorship? Perhaps a dictatorial Islamic caliphate? IMHO, the Iraq war was bad enough, in lacking an exit strategy, but this seems even worse–with no certain end game or even a clear victor. Cui bono? Cui bono?
