Not really a response there. Libya is not Iraq and has a whole host of factors that would allow for the restoration of security, biggest being the lack of Iran, Syria, and Saudi Arabia as neighbors. When your neighbors harbor and fund terrorists it's kinda hard to restore order. Libya has friendly neighbors, a relatively lawless Saharan region and a small population in a small strip mostly along the coast. There's also far less military grade explosives floating (for use as IEDs) around seeing as Libya had a relatively small military unlike Saddam whose military at one point was the 4th largest in the world and had munitions stockpiles to match.Iraq
The example of French intervention in neighboring Mali and EU intervention in neighboring Chad are examples of such.
