Libya: Despite everything, it's still a success

I read an article from The Economist about the death of the American ambassador to Libya.  This article was interesting to me because, although it was a news story, it was written unlike many news stories I have read.  The article was on the longer side and didn't use many direct quotes.  The author of the article seemed to prefer to describe the history of why this event happened and how and why things like this might happen again in the future.
I really liked how this article was set up because I've been reading in many places what happened but it was interesting to hear why this happened and how tensions have been building for the past few months, between Westerners and extreme fundamentalist Islams, called Salafists.  Although this story was written unlike other news stories, it was still cool to see the aspects of a news story used throughout the article.  As I was reading, it was clear to see how the author organized what he thought were the most important facts all the way down to what he found the least important facts.  The story shows what we've been learning in action!!!
