Now what?

Now, NATO members will rape the country for every drop of oil they have and call it a day Even tough Lybia is celebrating right now, seeing how divided the rebels are Im afraid a new power struggle will start, possibly even a much bloodier power struggle. Lets be honest, Egypt wont have a real democratic system for a looong time, and I doubt that Lybia, a country that is far less evolved, will do better.

I know that my opinion will probably be looked down, and I will be in the minority, but IMO Gadaffi was the lesser evil here, and for a country like that, sometimes a dictator is better in the short term. They should have waited until he dies, and maybe then try and make an easier transition on their own.

I couldn't agree more. It should be up to the Libyans and sovereign countries in general to decide which path to take. Unfortunately in this world today we have a situation where only might makes right and the powerful nations prey on the militarily weaker ones.

Glad to see others with a similar view regarding this tragedy that has unfolded.
