I’m not so sure there will be an Islamic government. I think there is most likely going to be a Russian-style oligarchy. Whoever has the least little bit of power there has seen how the mullahs in Iran took over the money-makers and won’t let the mullahs do the same in Libya. I suspect a more Yeltsin/Putin-type of government will be the one that settles out.

Cool. Then they'll have a government just like ours.

Isn't that what the neocons wanted all along? To bring our form of government to countries around the world?
