The last two comments echo precisely what worries me about foreign media.

It's unbelievable how oblivious it makes the world when it comes to Middle Eastern affairs.

Actually I've been following this almost exclusively on Al Jazeera which is very much Middle Eastern.

Let me start off by saying that there are differences between the reporting of Al Jazeera Arabic and its English counterpart.

In any case, about what I take issue with in your comment:

- It took Russia TOO long to actually make a step in recognizing the NTC, even though it's not full recognition yet (IIRC). Is it just slowness on their part? Haha, you tell me.

- About tribal warfare. Yeah, it's a WORST case scenario, but the chances of it happening are small...especially when there are Qathathfa in the rebels. Not to mention, one of the primary goals of many of the rebels is preserving the unity, and not let certain small groups go rogue to try and steer the revolution off its course.
