Tragedy of the Commons

Foreign Policy: What happens after Gadhafi? (CNN Opinion) After Gadhafi, the first challenge will be security. Failure to maintain public order is what got us into big trouble in Iraq, where Saddam Hussein?s ?stay behind? operation stirred civic unrest and destroyed government buildings. The murder in Libya last month of the overall rebel commander is a reminder that internecine warfare among the more than forty-five rebel militias is a real possibility. People who lost family and tribal members to the Gadhafi regime may seek to settle scores. Former regime elements may seek to defend themselves and to ?privatize? state assets. Criminals will see opportunities to traffic in arms, drugs and even people.
