The Death of the US ambassador
and attack on the embassy came as a shock to many; it was a common idea that
after overthrowing Mummar Gaddafi the situation in Libya would be fine. As dictator after dictator has been
removed from power, either through force of arms or the overwhelming strength
of popular discontent, Western leaders have universally given their support in
this Arab springs cause, but what we don’t see happening is them supporting and
helping these countries form proper and legitimate reformed governments. This
attack on the embassy has shown the dangerous currents that are swirling
beneath the reform movements. This attack on the Americans may result in them
to be hesitant when it comes to the next country they consider helping in the Arab
spring movement which is very negative for the area, as the U.S is a key ally
in many of the rebel movements.
