The Treasury Department says that at least $30 billion in Libyan assets have been frozen since President Barack Obama imposed sanctions on Libya last week.

I am a bit curious, will the people of Libya ever see any of the $30 billion?

@dyslexia,
Are you a betting person? If so, then I'll bet that they never see a penny of it in the next 5 years. Perhaps eventually they will, but it's pretty doubtful. Muammar Gaddafi has a few kids (in their 30s) in the gov't and a bunch of sycophant followers and some of them are saner than him (not that hard a task), but not that much brighter.

@Ragman,
yeah, I was thinking more along the lines of NGO used directly in aid of the common citizen.

@dyslexia,
Would love to see all of that money Gaddafi has stolen go back to those people. Just once!

@dyslexia,
You fooled me with the title of this thread. I thought you had one of those "cultural" questions about asian ladies.

Sadly though the sanctions will reach the people. They will be the only ones that suffer, as per the norm.
