This is what NATO can do to a country

"Since the revolution, militias formed to fight the regime of Muammar Gaddafi have morphed into private armies, led by charismatic warlords, their fighting and gangsterism bringing the country to its knees. Outside the capital, much of this desert country resembles a Mad Max film set, its highways crisscrossed by militiamen in exotic battle wagons featuring anti-aircraft guns and rocket tubes. Militia blockades have halted oil production, starving the government of cash. In the cities there is stagnation, violence, power blackouts and petrol shortages; this in the country that is home to Africa's biggest oil reserves."
