You should be happy that they didn't ask for ground troops
They WANT democracy and if they hated the West so much they would not ask for help from the West.
There's two kind of people in evolution. Ones who made it happen and ones who enjoy it afterward.
A lot of times these two groups don't mean the same people unfortunately. Even if you disagree with them you must respect their courage for standing up against a brutal regime as Gaddafi's.
I really wish that Tunisia, Egypt and soon Libya will really become a free nation and have a real democracy. The people clearly deserve it. Let's hope they don't get betrayed by corrupt bureaucrats or politicians. The temptation is great when you hold power. It takes humility and strength of character to resist it. Power should be meant as a tool to serve fellow man instead as a tool of oppression and selfish pursuits.
Being a leader is not a privilege to do as the person wishes but the privilege to try to bring betterment to his brothers and sisters and to give protection to the needy and weak. It's not a privilege to kill or to steal or to force anyone contrary to his harmless personal beliefs and natural requirements. If it is not so then what's the difference between civil leaders to the alpha male of a baboon pack who insists on being fed and served first which otherwise would become violent. Surely evolution has made humanity better than a pack of baboon or is that just make up that we're seeing?!
