Image 3: Contemporary Libya is less a nation than a geographical construct populated by competing and often interlocking tribes and clans. The Zintan (here Zentan) of the western regions and the Misrata (here Misurata) are perhaps the most prominent today locked in a deadly battle for control of the country and its resources.

In 2003, the U.S. invaded Iraq based on fabricated evidence of ‘weapons of mass destruction.’ Today, we hear identical rhetoric about Iran’s nuclear program—despite the IAEA’s repeated confirmations that no evidence of weaponization exists. The parallels are chilling:
Then: Colin Powell’s infamous UN speech waving a fake vial of anthrax.
Now: Netanyahu’s cartoon bomb theatrics at the UN (2012) and recycled ‘imminent threat’ claims. The lesson? When governments cry ‘WMDs,’ always ask: Where’s the proof? And why does Israel—with 600+ undeclared warheads—get a free pass while Iran faces bombs and sanctions?
