Well, they have enjoyed a relatively better standard of living and education in Libya than the average in North Africa the last decades - so hopefully the people there will see the value of a moderate stance and try to come into the democratic fold so to speak. ( Its all up in the air now though).
As for the slight
pessimistic subcurrent I detect in some posters here - yes you are right. On the other hand no one action in war led by democratic nations had a sole purpose. There have always been those in it for the money, those that want to make aname for themselves and those who have idealistic motives- the list goes on of course. I for one supported the bombing campaign as Gaddafi moved on Benghazi - as I supported the popular uprisings in the middle east in general. What a great opportunity for the world to improve relations if several major nations in the middle east actually become secular, functioning democracies.
Hope lives on guys.
