While most countries have rushed to evacuate their citizens from Libya in recent months, one country decided to leave 200 of their nationals stranded in Libya. Guess the country, it should be easy.
Reason?
"Out of fear that what they witnessed -- a full-blown popular rebellion against Qaddafi's dictatorship -- could lead to a copycat rebellion back home," according to a story in Foreign Policy. "The fear was obviously that these 200 would have a kind of a viral effect, bringing news and information about what was happening in Libya."
