That's some really low propaganda. By that logic you would not want to use any domain from a "first world" country since they are actively in conflict (by exploiting) the rest of the world. Also, most of them are at war somewhere.
I'm simply saying that retribution by Gaddafi on western companies or end users is not out of the question. As a user, I would rather avoid going through any Libyan servers during peacetime, and that obviously becomes increasingly risky as the thuggish regime becomes desperate.
It's not the fact that Libya is at war, it's the fact that it's a completely corrupt and brutal regime in "normal" times, and I especially don't trust them with my packet requests in these desperate times.
I think in this day and age, that's just splitting hairs though. Most people would love to have something that makes them spring out of bed in the morning and keeps them so engaged that they can't sleep at night. Well, they'd love it until they hate it. And of course there are some people who are wired in such a way that they could never feel that way about anything and to them, the grass is always greener on the other side. That's ok. In the immortal words of Ted Knight, "The world needs ditch diggers too."
(Author of the post being discussed here - hi there, how you ya doin').
My point in writing that post was to give the reality-based side of the story because, as I mentioned, there is a frickton of people out there who would have you believe that you can make a whole lot of dough doing, almost literally, anything if you really love it enough. Naturally, this is true of some people (like programmers and writers), but the problem I have is that the message being sent by these people is that absolutely anybody can have this particular part of your life unearthed if you just pay them $297 for a couple of hours on the phone. They'll tell you to start a blog about [thing], then write and sell an ebook about [thing] or offer coaching on [thing] - rinse and repeat until you have time to pick out your yacht. It's horseshit.
