for those that dont know about the history of the Libyan resistance to italian occupation, you may want to do some reading on Omar Mukhtar.
Omar Mukhtar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He's one of the most famous Libyans, and is a symbol of arab resistance and is considered by arabs and libyans alike as a freedom fighter in the face of imperialistic oppression. he withstood Mussolini for 20 years until his capture in 1931. Anthony Quinn even portrayed Mukhtar in a movie
Lion of the Desert - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
will it become like afghanistan? i dont think so. Libya isnt fighting for its homeland like the afghanis or omar mukhtar were. Nor is this an ideological war like the afghan/russian war.
