Great question. Superficially, at least, Haftar seems to be the non-Islamist, professional military officer, former anti-Gaddafi bloke, who lived in the US and gained US citizenship, and who seems to be modestly democratic by inclination, if also somewhat autocratic. A lovely chap? Perhaps not. Preferable to Islamists and idealogues? Perhaps.
