Accoriding to an article in the Wall Street Journal, Published on Friday, September 2, 2011: on September setting is in Libya after Moammar Ghadhafi, the leader of of the country is overthrown by his people because they despised him as a leader. The article is ABOUT a hoard of confidential documents that that were found in the Government Offices that demonstrated how distraught and unorganized the Libyan government really was. Military/Police Officers reported that many times, the intel they recieved from "higher up" was of little or no help at all. Pretty soon, they were barely told what to do, so the officers started to abuse their power and commited crimes like rape, taking drugs and, abusing people at random.
The point the the writer is trying to make is that even though the Libyan government's offensive approach towards its people looks controlled, What is happening in the background is a completely different story, full of disorder, chaos, and commotion.
When I read 'Persepolis,' I can't help but relate this book to Libya, and the events that are unraveling. It seems that the same struggles that Libya is having to face are the same struggles that Iran has gone through and still trying to work out. Its crazy to see how all these events will unfold.
