The situation in Libya is more likely to directly affect US foreign policy than the death of Bin Laden. While his death does not substantially change the plane field in Afghanistan against terror and Al Qaida. Our involvement in a potential Libyan revolution could result in a drastic changing in a US and Libya Arab relation. I feel that the media now has focused less and less on this issue and I had to delve to look for news. I read in the paper that in some of the liberated areas, the Libyan people have set up democratic committees to solve daily problems of governance such as political decisions and house keep business such as clearing the streets. I found it interesting because I think this could be the start of voluntary associations in Libya that people came together to work at something that benefits more people, especially in the situation of war.
Athena, You remind me that the matter of paying attention is not only a personal one, but also a political one. It seems that the news media provides its audience one story at a time. Perhaps this is all we have the capacity or desire for? LDL
