I was in Libya earlier this year. While Tripoli is a boring city, it was not too insecure then. I got to see the Roman ruins outside the city, too.
I was surprised at the amount of construction that was abandoned. Whatever his faults, Ghaddafi was building a lot of housing when he was brought down. Now those places are just bare concrete and rusting rebar. That and the recent chaos made me question the utility of overthrowing him.
