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.

It is true, this happened in Sudan to keep the north from the rich petrol fields in the south. But I disagree about waiting for Muammar to die. His son's no better.

But I have been watching the news, and questions like these popped up. The Libyan higher ups seem to be quite aware of what the intervention could mean.

I also noticed Turkey's involvement in the intervention was kind of dodgy. Notice how Erdogan was often asking NATO to reduce the airstrikes amongst other things, even though Erdogan is very supportive of his fellow Muslim countries. He knows there likely was/is a dirty game involved. So I dunno, it's really best to wait and see how things unfold.
