"What Libya needs from Washington is not a special forces raid but much more help in building a state.

They urged U.S. technical support for the drafting of a new constitution that safeguards human rights, help in developing a long-term strategy to create an independent judiciary and training programs for security forces.

If they wish to avoid another Arab state descending into chaos, they need to come back." The Washington Post.
