They both bring up regional issues. It would not surprise me to see two states born form this.<br /><br />http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-12824472CreidSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3401584991689197404.post-70977945948208487382011-03-22T23:06:03.574-07:002011-03-22T23:06:03.574-07:00Thanks, that's helpful, CreidS.

Nailing the airfields should just about do it. As for tanks, Libya imports its food and, if I am not confusing things, its diesel fuel. An army can't run for long without those. Moreover, it seems a flat country with few direct roads. If it moves, we should be able to see it.<br /><br />(2) No idea. But I do recall that the Romans partitioned what we would think of as Libya into two different provinces. They typically followed cultural lines, so the differences go back at least as far as 125 CE.CreidSnoreply@blogger.com
