(soon to be re-named "Martyr Square" by a CIA scriptwriter.) Answer: Just get some archive footage from a demonstration in India completely unrelated to the story, slap "live" on it and have the idiot news readers say it's from Tripoli.

One of the systematic questions of the post-Cold War international system is the role of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in a world where Europe and North America are no longer threatened by the USSR. The alliance itself attempted to answer the question by rebranding itself as the world’s policeman, able to project military power for ‘humanitarian interventions’ and regime changes deemed favourable to NATO leaders.

Redistributing the wealth is a defining function of the modern state, just like defending its borders or maintaining a judicial system. American conservatives have lurched so far to the right they're now trying to re-litigate questions about the role of government that have been settled for hundreds of years.
