In a recent interview with The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg, President Obama accused America's European allies of being "free riders." He went on to say "I had more faith in the Europeans, given Libya’s proximity, being invested in the follow-up...." For Obama, Libya today is a "mess" because the US' European allies -he singles out Britain and France - did not carry their share of the burden and stabilize Libya after the coalition air war in 2011 that led to the fall of Muammar Qaddafi.
