Reason of state (Libya)

Democracy means "government by the people" and its premise is the existence of an appropriate structure to manage the social and political conflicts. In a democracy, that structure is called the rule of law. The rule of law, those conflicts are considered and resolved, in fact, through the law and not of violence.

They are dictatorships, on the contrary, that use violence and the law on privilege. And the structure of dictatorships is indeed capable of managing conflicts, but does so precisely with the violence and repression. In many countries, this is reality. Libya is a dictatorship, it has been for 40 years.
