If by marginally we mean a difference of half million dead and three million seeking refuge, I beg to disagree.

And yes Syria is an intangible mess now, probably the same would have been in Lybia if it was left to own civil war for 5 more years.

Now, factor in the fact that Libya is now a failed state and the refugee crisis is largely caused by human traffickers using Libya as a staging area to send those countless lifeboats packed with countless unwitting victims, a great number of which end up dead in the Mediterranean.


The cause of the current refugee crisis is not Libya, this is really creative interpretation of the results of Syria non-intervention policy.
