And the award goes to NATO for establishing yet another exemplary democracy in the Middle East

"Libya’s parliament moved into a five-star Tripoli hotel Monday, a day after rioters armed with knives and guns stormed the legislature building, torching furniture, killing a guard and wounding six lawmakers in the latest episode of turmoil in the country.

Tensions have been mounting between the country’s biggest political blocs, each backed by militias, adding to the potential explosiveness of political disputes. Protesters demanded that the parliament be disbanded immediately after its mandate ran out in early February."

PS By the way, are there any Western correspondents still working in Libya, or did they all flee after the establishment of glorious democracy there?
