Understanding Western Intervention In Libya
I would actually like to address the MENA unrest once more before moving on (a series on health is to follow!). I just read a blurb by one of my favorite neo-Marxist theorists, Immanuel Walllerstein, which seeks to make some sense out of the U.S./NATO decision to intervene in the Libyan conflict. His premise: that it was more a matter of subduing the Arab resistance movement and maintaining the geopolitical structure of the region than about humanitarian aid or oil. Read "The Great Libyan Distraction."
