Interesting. I spent 40 days on TDY in Libya in 1963. I was glad to get back to of all places, France. I was struck by all the one-eyed Arabs that worked in the mess hall. As I recall, this was said to be their way to get out of military service. Weird is the proper adjective.

This is actually a lengthy article by the esteemed Victor Davis Hanson and what you see above is a small excerpt from a long article. The story is not dated but the editon is marked as "Autumn 2006."

Note, for example, the nugget within that Lionel Ritchie was headlining Quaddafi's "celebration" of the 20th anniversary of Reagan's reprisal attack.

there are some roman ruins in libya that are simply amazing in photo (also in syria but that is completely out of the question now); I would love to go see the archaeological sites there but there are so many places to go first that don't put you on a bad list with fedgov and maybe even nofly or whatnot.....(is there still a travel ban to libya for americans?)

The professor can't even get sick in a s**thole and not come out with some memorable and instructive observations...

P.S. He really should have been getting his fiber, there's really no excuse for appendicitis.
