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.

I truly wish that would be the case though I fear that the average Lybian will have no say in the matter. The west has just spent billions during this 6 month military campaign and somebody will have to pay for the cost. No doubt Libya will have to cover the bill and in doing so will become economically dependent on the west.
The fact that this became a full fledged military intervention despite the fact that the resolution was meant to be used to enforce a no fly zone indicates to me a rather ominous outcome for Lybia.
