"....Whatever emerges from this volcano, it's hard to see Libya not fractured across tribal lines. It's fair to say that the - tribal - Libyan youth who went out in the streets to fight the weaponized Gaddafi regime regard the tribal mentality as the plague. It won't vanish overnight. But the best possible expectation under the dire circumstances - with a humanitarian crisis looming and the specter of civil war - is that the Internet will propel the country to a post-tribal era. Before that, a bunker must fall."
