A year without Gaddafi

Gaddafi came to power with his anti west rhetoric. But in reality he safe guarded western interests in Libya. He could not survive without the west. Now fundamentalists are in power. Unless there is an embargo like in the case of Iran, they will also lean towards western interests. Pakistan is an example of a democratic country that has no mind of its own. When the rulers become unpopular and still want to rule they look outwards to stay put. If Libya truly becomes free the world will pay a fair price for oil when all the battles are done. But this is a distant dream. For now things have only gotten worse for Libya.
