The Aftermath

A New War on Africa

From: Slouching Towards Sirte

$4.20

In the Conclusion, Forte ends with an extension of one of the key themes in this book, namely that the war against Libya was also a war against Africa. He examines critical perspectives on regime change in Libya, as voiced by prominent African leaders. In addition, he looks at the impact of the war on leadership within the African Union itself, and then ends by considering how the war in Libya has destabilized the immediate region, and how this too represents further opportunity for U.S. intervention, and thus a continued need on our part for vigilance and skepticism in the face of the heady claims of our own inherent goodness which can only find its highest expression in the form of aerial bombardment.
