Hi, Libya was not so bad before the wars. American sanctions were difficult for the locals and entry had to be done by road. The locals were very friendly. Not many were educated but those that were had amazing education levels.

Funny we were not really supposed to be there but the oil fields were full of American engineers. Ameracan passport holders got twice as much money as everyone else.
I was there commissioning a new installation for the local power station.
I sometimes look on Google earth at the installation. It does not look like it did when I was there. Years to build and moments to destroy.
