One dictator replacing the other? For that the rebel movement would have to be organised with clear leadership, it isn't. Second is the reason why the revolutions started; to oust dictatorship as per example of what happened in Egypt, I doubt they'd easily settle for more of the same.

The worst that could happen is that after Gadaffi's works are all cleaned up the situation turns into a civil war, but I don't think that's very likely.
Egypt got their democracy yet?

That's not what I'm saying is it?

Libyans were inspired by the situation in Egypt to try and depose their own local dictator.

this time it's "one dictator" and "thousands of murdered" - a lot easier to cook up: of dictator we'll show 'em a photo, and thousands of dead are very easy to come by in a country torn apart by civil war.

Haha, you don't even see the hypocrisy of your own statement. What something like 30 ossetians died? Independant groups have verified that thousands of people in Libya were injured and killed and that is before the civil war even started. Try going to some media sites that aren't in Putins pocket yeah.

the UN mandate have been grossly overstepped, and you know it. and "support of the region" doesn't give anyone the right to go in guns blazing and destroy a sovereign nation's government

Destroying troops and supplies used to bomb civilians isn't overstepping at all, infact I would say it wasn't taken far enough, any rebel artillary shooting at towns should have also been bombed. Anymore than a dictator has an mandate to rule his people?

Says it all really. A man that killed millions of people is your idol, I understand now why you like Gadaffi so much. Yeah Reuters and the BBC cook up fairy tales all the time and the Russian media is renounded for its solid reporting. /smack down, im done with you. You are literally a joke.

Ps im English you moron, plus Fox if I remember were fully against intervening because they are a bunch of wankers.

Of course it's likely. There's always some powermonger in the back waiting for a vacuum to fill. It's astronomically more likely than 'grassroots democracy' taking shape. Hell, the US was a stones throw away from crowning Washington as King. We got lucky that he disliked power rather than craved it.

Is it? With all the foreign interference thrown into the equation nowadays I believe it's going to be quite hard to compare this situation to any other revolution throughout history. Statistics doesn't do much either because that would be ignoring the differences between revolutions, which at times can be quite huge. It's not something you can put in a graph.

Though I'll agree it's a definite possibility. The dust will have to settle first and then we can get a clearer picture, we still don't really know what groups are involved, what they want and how they intend to achieve it.

Whatever the case Gadaffi had to go sooner or later, dictatorship can't survive indefinitely and I don't think we've done the wrong thing by getting involved.

Because of all that involvement, what is most likely to occur is a western-favorable puppet in a dictatorship role a la Mubarak. Europe and the US wouldn't spend all that time and money ousting Gaddafi just to see an anti-West prime minister (or whatever) sit on top, even if he is democratically elected.

Did we install western favorable puppets in any of the interventions/wars over the last 20 years? Moreover, wouldn't it be a dumb move to install a puppet gov. when the concept failed as bad as it did in Egypt?

I don't think we will have to do much to get a gov thats indifferent or friendly to the west. Unless the Gadaffi loyalists suddenly miracle a victory out of nowhere whatever government comes next, it would have to acknowledge our help in their revolution.

So you think the regime change would've occurred with NATO help if Libya wasn't oil rich?

The argument in the video wasn't even oil, it was a currency switch and they used Iraq as an example of the US invading a country because it wanted to switch currency.

Libya was already well-connected to the international oil market with Gadaffi. Invading for that reason does not make sense. I'm sure it played a role but a marginal one, yes I believe that were we given a UN mandate and the Arab League asked us to intervene we would have regardless of the oil.

Worked perfectly for decades.

According to the report I saw Gadaffi was captured and shot twice in the stomach with his own gold-plated Browning.

The issue of religion in politics came roaring back Sunday, however, when interim leader Mustafa Abdel Jalil, thought to be a moderate, declared in his "liberation" address that Libya would be an Islamic state and that sharia law would be a fundamental source of legislation. That remark differed little from statements he had made previously, however (and all Arab states have similar provisions in their constitutions). What did catch people's attention was when he got into specifics: Libya's new constitution "will not disallow polygamy," he said, and charging interest will be forbidden.

even when it was against nazies, whom pretty much everybody considered pure evil to be destroyed horribly, first a war was declared, and when the war had been won a trial was held to examine the evidence and on that basis determine who was "dictator" and all that jazz.
today they simply name whoever they don't like a "dictator" and bomb him. see the difference?

as to what exactly was in the resolution, you can read here. get back to me when you have familiarized yourself with the document.

i am a joke? geee... kiddie, we - people, who actually experienced stuff you only read bullshit stories about in your media - do not have idols, we do not like and do not hate and most certainly we do not believe anything written by Reuters, BBC and what other crap you have there. what we try to do is understand what is happening and that - surprise! - requires knowledge and experience, not idols.

Ps im English you moron, plus Fox if I remember were fully against intervening because they are a bunch of wankers.

i am russian you cretin. i've actually spoken to people who fought in ossetia - both sides - and to those who then participated in re-building after georgian attack on tskhinvali. go bullshit someone else.

if you open your mind too much your brain will fall out.

lol iraq and euro switch. Just don't forget the fact that a lot of big big big oil companies today are euro based and they sell to the American market, which in the end they'd just have to use US dollars anyway.

lol people need to take macro econ, srsly this shit is retarded.

- everybody should prefer russian media to western media (especially to the bbc)
- ordinary civilians and enlisted personnel always know best about the background of conflicts, war, economic processes etc.
