Evidently almost everyone here has a very optimistic view of the Libyan war and it's reasons though I would argue a highly misguided one.
I try to use a variety of different sources and always do as much research as I can before forming an opinion.

After being lied to by our leaders (in the west) continuously about the reasons for going to war and breaking a multitude of laws I have become skeptical to a degree.

I have observed over the last couple of decades a pattern in the build up to wars that have been launched by the US/NATO. Iraq was a great example of how a propaganda campaign was launched using blatant lies including Weapons of mass destruction, and Iraq's supposed links to Al-Qaeda. And when the lies are revealed they are conveniently swept under the rug and a new excuses are given like spreading democracy.

I could go on forever but I will just quickly say that in regards to Libya I believe that it is a western backed operation and a hostile takeover of a sovereign country whose only crime was to have a nationally owned central bank, and a desire to form an African currency and shed it's reliance on the dollar.

I don't believe that it's a coincidence that only a short time after announcing plans to introduce the Gold Dinar currency that a rebellion quickly followed which was supposedly fueled by a desire for freedom. A point of interest is that one of the first things the rebel council did was to form a private central bank. It doesn't hurt that Libya also has the largest oil reserves in Africa.

Everything I have mentioned can be easily found on the net and I encourage everyone to do a bit of research. It's not as simple as we are led to believe in the mainstream media.

just my 2 cents

And that is why as I said earlier the Libyans need to be smart about this and not let the foreign intervention be a loophole to get a hold of the country.
