Popis:	Despite the recent installation of a new, so-called Unity government in Tripoli, unresolved political differences among rival factions and the violence perpetuated by Islamic extremists in Libya suggest any interim stabilization of the country may be short-lived. Declarations that the 2011 intervention in Libya was a success have long been overshadowed by a chorus of critics who argue it created more problems than it solved. Hoping for another casualty-free, short-term intervention is not a realistic option. If the U.S. and regional players wish to right Libya's course, and cement it indefinitely, it will require a major and long-term in-country commitment that few would find politically or fiscally palatable. Diving in deeply or largely staying out appear to be the only real-world choices available.
