Interesting view of the war in Libya. Tiny but at 150 sq miles Tripoli is about the size of Detroit but with 2 million people or half the size of Stalingrad but twice the population. Libya maps by @dhadelli 
@dhadelli for shits and giggles, Iraq and Afghanistan have populations of 25 million and a security force of around 400k was estimated to secure both (same number the Russians used) rand.org/pubs/research_…
There is no hard number for of militia numbers in Libya, but good numbers on paid military. Depending on who wins who gets DDR'd and who gets fired? Who goes to jail, who becomes the insurgent and who becomes the security force?ispionline.it/it/pubblicazio…
Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Yemen are not accurate models for what is about to happen in Libya. A divided nation but still with a strong sense of national identity and history of rejecting foreign meddling. A country now being fully meddled with. nationalinterest.org/feature/how-th…
