While I agree with you 100% I am skeptical that it is just more of the king is dead long live the king! A regime change to a new authortarian ruler.
And if they hated the west why would they ask for our help you ask, Tell me do you see anybody else offering? The enemy of my enemy is my friend, that is until my enemy is dead in which case friend you are now my enemy! Happens all the time.
I don't think that the west should invest one drop a fuel unless we can invest in the outcome. Maybe its just me but refusing western boots on the ground just sends a message that they aren't interested in what we are selling.
I pray I am wrong but I would bet I am right. Democracy will not rise In Libya.
