Without International interference. If the Italian Government collapses tomorrow - I think the Northern League is in. And they are calling for blockades/rejecting all. That means - those folks either die at sea or go back to Libya then back to their country of origin.


The previous government had agreements with Tunisia and Egypt that had them stemming the tide of migrants from those countries. It was effective. Could Mr. Kerry (in your avatar) help navigate an agreement between the two opposing governments and Libya that they too monitor their ports with rigor and make sure they stem the tide?

I think - hearing my older brother in law rant yesterday afternoon - there is a feeling even amongst even the most liberal of Italian citizens - that they don't see why they have to fix the problems in the third world . . . And even the most forward thinking there don't use the term 'emerging economy' - Libya, Bangladesh, Sub Saharan Africa, Egypt, Turkey- that's all the third world to them.
