Eastern Libya's Taste of Freedom Tainted by Fear
Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi has lost control over eastern parts of
the country, where rebel militias are now in charge. While the people
celebrate their newfound freedom, though, they worry that the teetering
regime might strike back with new savagery.

Libyan Arms Deals Come Back to Haunt Europe
Helicopters from Italy, firearms from Malta and communication technology
from Germany: When the arms embargo against Libya was lifted in 2004,
the country's dictator Moammar Gadhafi went on a shopping spree in the
European Union. Now he is using those weapons against his own people --
to the EU's shame.

Italy Warns of a New Wave of Immigrants to Europe
Moammar Gadhafi, in recent years, has enjoyed a cynical role as Europe's

Mediterranean.

'Europe Must Issue a Credible Threat to Libya'
What future awaits Libya? Several Western leaders hope it is one without
dictator Moammar Gadhafi. But the unpredictable autocrat is still
clinging to power in Tripoli even as he has lost control of several
other cities. German commentators argue it may be time for a European
intervention.

Election Will Herald a New Era in Ireland
When the Irish vote in the country's general election on Friday, they
will be keen to punish those politicians they see as responsible for the
country's sorry state. But the hands of the next government will be tied
by the European Union, whose multi-billion bailout gives it power over
the nation's fate.
