Even so, victory belonged to them. No foreign ground troops were deployed. Brave Libyans protected Benghazi, defended Misrata and captured Tripoli. The country's new rulers emerged from the war with hard-earned legitimacy, giving them a decent chance of setting up a unified national government. Last month they thanked their foreign allies and bid them goodbye. Most allies in turn stressed that the Libyans were in charge. Time to go home, they said: this was not Iraq in 2003. However, since the fighting ceased some allies have become more involved in Libyan affairs, not less, according to Western diplomats. The worst offender is Qatar, according to several Tripoli-based diplomats. The Qataris are now supporting the political ambitions of hand-picked leaders and commanders, undermining attempts to form a unified military command. Some members of the National Transitional Council are seething. To a lesser extent some Western powers are also pushing their own men or models.
