    The Libyan Government didn't support the so called Militamen and in fact tried to stop them, bombing them would be a diplomatic nightmare.

    The US will demand the heads of the Militamen (rightfully so) and it will be the reactions of the Libyan government which will determine what happens next

    If they crack down and capture/kill the Militia responsible then the US probably wont do anything - if they drag their heels or do nothing then they are going to find themselves in a lot of diplomatic problems... and then the US may consider a Military response
    Yemen, Pakistan...

    Drone strikes against a US ally? How do you think that would go down with other allies?

    That isn't going to happen, the most proactive thing the US can do is offer to send CIA/FBI bods in to "assist with the investigation".

    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.
