Libyan Greens

Mr. Pipes,

Your "Libyan Blues" about Libyan Greens is well justified.

The question for me, however, is not whether Islamists will take over Libya, and also Egypt, Tunisia, Lebanon, and possibly Syria; which I see as inevitable.

The question is whether the US administration's involvement resulting in such takeover was a miscalculation or, perhaps, a premeditated action pushed by Muslim Brothers (and sisters) within and around the Camarilla.

...about so-called moderate Muslims:

They are the vehicle and front cover cleverly and so far successfully used by Islamists. They are not our hope but rather Islamists' tool, literally their avant-garde.
