Why did the US attack Libya and overthrow Gaddafi, who was an anti-terror ally?
Did the overthrow of Gaddafi have any long-lasting effects on the region?
Yes, the overthrow of Gaddafi has had a significant impact on the region. Libya has been plunged into chaos and instability since Gaddafi's ousting, and the power vacuum created by his absence has allowed extremist groups to flourish. The country is still struggling to find stability, and the effects of the intervention are still being felt today.
