The Atlantic's latest "In Focus" installment points the camera at Libya, ravaged by civil war. As in the past, The Atlantic has done a great job capturing scenes from a personal POV. Here are a few pics (more here):

DEPARTMENT OF STATE

22 CFR Part 126

RIN 1400-AC83
[Public Notice 7466]


Amendment to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations: Libya

AGENCY: Department of State.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of State is amending the International Traffic
in Arms Regulations (ITAR) to update the policy regarding Libya to
reflect the United Nations Security Council arms embargoes adopted in
February and March.

DATES: Effective Date: This rule is effective May 24, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nicholas Memos, Office of Defense
Trade Controls Policy, Department of State, by telephone: (202) 663-
2804; fax: (202) 261-8199; or e-mail: memosni@state.gov. Attn: Part
126, Libya.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 26, 2011, the United Nations
Security Council adopted Resolution 1970, paragraph 9 of which provides
that U.N. member states shall immediately take the necessary measures
to prevent the sale, supply or transfer of arms and related materiel of
all types to the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, with certain exceptions.
Additionally, on March 17, 2011, the U.N. Security Council adopted
Resolution 1973, paragraph 4 of which authorizes member states to take
all necessary measures, notwithstanding the arms embargo established by
paragraph 9 of Resolution 1970, to protect civilians and civilian
populated areas under threat of attack in Libya. This rulemaking
implements the Security Council's actions within the ITAR by adding
Libya to Sec. 126.1(c) and revising the previous policy on Libya
contained in Sec. 126.1(k) to announce a policy of denial for all
requests for licenses or other approvals to export or otherwise
transfer defense articles and services to Libya, except where not
prohibited under UNSC embargo and determined to be in the interests of
the national security and foreign policy of the United States.

And instead of doing their best to stop this, the west an some of the arab countries are doing their best to stir shit up to have libyans fighting against libyans just to remove Gaddafi from power.
 

Not really worth watching, I saw it months ago.. here's the review:

Although oil is a finite resource and we have tapped almost all the major reserves there are still enough medium-smaller reserves to last us 100+ years just it will cost more money to tap them and will raise prices.

In the next 25-50 years oil is going to be pretty much obsolete anyways as battery technology is getting better, also water propulsion and other clean energy systems can't be suppressed forever.

The guy claims all oil is going to be used up in the next few years and everything will collapse.. which isn't going to happen.

/\/\/\ Missed the point entirely.

It doesn't matter how much alternative energy you have or how much additional reserves there are... it's impossible to sustain the required perpetual growth when all plastics are made from petroleum.
 
That's the $700 trillion question. Can sugars and starches replace petroleum before time runs out?
