Subiectul: Re:Some 5000 posta go I said that Al Qaeda had infiltrated the Lybian rebel movement and what our governments were doing was feeding Al Qaeda. Consider some snippets from the article:

Übergeek 바둑이: ok....

"Mr al-Hasidi admitted that he had recruited "around 25" men from the Derna area in eastern Libya to fight against coalition troops in Iraq. Some of them, he said, are "today are on the front lines in Adjabiya". "

Personally, I would expect some al-Qaeda supporters to be involved. There is no strong indication at the moment that al-Qaeda is running the rebellion, just they are taking part.. which considering the region and politics is nothing strange.

Does that mean al-Qaeda will fill the power vacuum? I don't think so.

"Western governments are really naive if they think that Lybia will magically become a democracy."

I don't think they are that naive... And as it was the people doing the ground fighting rather than westerners it's going to be harder for al-Qaeda to 'recruit'. This is a popular revolution/civil war, not an invasion.
