comparison of Libya and Syria

This article is over a year old, but I found it interesting because it has a simple break down to why it is more beneficial to intervene in Libya and not Syria. Also it kind of explains to why these two nations have become so infamous. it doesn't go into much detail, but the readers can get an idea of what was going on in these two nations at the time.
