Sounds like a good way to escalate. Unless we have a NEO concern, I don't think there is anything in Libya worth a single American military life.
If we have US citizens there, we should get them out. But I see no reason for the US to become involved if there are other nations with issues. Each nation should handle their issues themselves.
We are not the world's police force nor are we the saviors of all nations.
The last thing we need is to get involved in another ill defined shooting war.
Besides, just like in Egypt, we don't know exactly what the "other side" will do if they "win".
