I believe that when certain groups of people feel that they are not being represented fairly in the government, they are very quick to turn to ethnic differences as the cause. Unfortunately, I believe that in many cases they are correct. However I also feel that sometimes jealousy and greed makes people want more than they deserve, and that blaming your problems on someone else who doesn't like you because of your ethnicity is a very easy excuse. However, we have now seen tribal conflict in many different nations and it continues to divide people and influence policy. In response to the "Recommendations" listed here, I am not sure I agree. If the Libyan government strengthened their military, it could send the wrong message to the people who already feel oppressed. I do, however, agree that a governing body must be in control of its state. As with any issue, there are many different factors contributing to the actual problem and solution.Brian Ashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00605970877909187590noreply@blogger.com
