How would you have resolved the Libyan civil war? Pull a Russia and support the strongman while he butchers his own people?
The rebellion would of died off pretty quickly, instead the west intervened, the Gulf scumbags, as always funded some Islamic fundamentalists and the rest is history. Libya is a failed state, Al-Qaeda & ISIS have a strong presence there now, almost all the migrants streaming from Africa come thru Libya, human trafficking, weapons trafficking, hub for Islamists of all stripes with a direct route to Europe. Most people there would probably give an arm and a leg to go back to the pre war days. Yeah you might of been somewhat oppressed, at least you had a home, lively hood and your relatives were alive.
Our version of spreading freedom & democracy actually means turning countries into failed states.
