Just because i supported the overthrow of Gaddafi that doesn't mean i supported western intervention of Libya. We just manage to make everything worse so why bother?, it's their fight anyway. I want Assad gone as much as the rebels but that don't mean we should get involved. It's also the same for the past, we should just keep our noses out of it, Iran was a functioning democracy before the west decided to fund a coup but because the leader wouldn't cooperate with us over oil we had to do something! While in Afghanistan the west was willing to support anyone who was willing to fight the soviets and funnily enough they ended up being terrorists who hated the west. Osama Bin Laden being one of the key people who got help to fight against the soviets. My problem is none of it was neccessary, Afghanistan was a prosperous and modern nation before 1979, it's just sad what war and religious extremism can do to a country. ~http://englishrussia.com/2011/07/21/the-afghanistan-of-the-50s-60s/#more-60639

While, Iraq we didn't install a leader but we wasted 10 years there at first removing Saddam Hussein and then the rest of the time trying to fight against a guerilla resistance which has still lead to problems there today. Without war or bastard leaders, Iraq could probably be as rich as the UAE with all the oil it has

But really, i'm not suprised we get extremist muslims today when we lead to the destruction of their society by removing their leaders (whether democratic or dictatorial). There is no law and order left and there are so bound by their religious beliefs, they will do anything to further the cause. It's sounds similar to what communism once was, as you find it was very popular in the countries worst hit by world war II, which is why America tried to fund their reconstruction, although it was too late for some countries.   

The Iraq war, as stupid as it was, did get rid of Saddam the decades long dictator and brought democracy to Iraq. Since then the Iraqis are the onest that have been killing each other along sectarian lines and failing the responsibility to promote democratic values and culture. In Lybia, the rebels were literally about to get crushed before the west intervened and Qaddafi would be in power today if it wasn't for NATO air strikes. The Lybian military had taken several towns and rebel lines were falling apart and the Qaddafi army was marching to Benghazi to end the revolution.
