The true extent of the fall-out from the Libya war is remarkable: it has spurred terrorism in Europe, Syria, North Africa and sub-Saharan Africa
Eight years on from Nato's war in Libya in 2011, as the country enters a new phase in its conflict, I have taken stock of the number of countries to which terrorism has spread as a direct product of that war.
The number is at least 14. The legacy of David Cameron's, Nicolas Sarkozy's and Barack Obama's overthrow of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi has been gruesomely felt by Europeans and Africans.
Yet holding these leaders accountable for their decision to go to war is as distant as ever.
Ungoverned space
The 2011 conflict, in which Nato worked alongside Islamist forces on the ground to remove Gaddafi, produced an ungoverned space in Libya and a country awash with weapons, ideal for terrorist groups to thrive.
But it was Syria that suffered first.

As if Bush wasn't a complete retard starting two unending wars in the Muddled East. It has nothing to do with left or right and everything to do with the military/industrial complex and the international banksters.
Libya was attacked to steal their gold stash because of the "war on terrorism" had left the west nearly bankrupt. Only morons equate this stupid shit with leftie/rightie bullshit.
Looking in the mirror again, I see. Funny, I was thinking the same thing about you, but I was trying to be polite. I see you are incapable of being polite so Phuk You.
ISIS is the west's proxy army in the Muddled East. They have outlived their usefulness.isis: we volunteer
Do you understand that the term "depleted uranium nuclear bomb" makes no sense?NATO has become a proxy terrorist group for the US.

It's complete technobabble crap. It has no meaning.
Yes, I know it makes no sense. It doesn't change the fact that Libya was bombed back into the stone age so the US and the West could steal his gold and destroy his dream of an African currency based on that gold and free from the IMF. Another bankster cluster fukk.
Took part? They took the lead in this illegal war and assisted in the assassination of Gaddaffi.
