Some European NATO countries basically took it upon them-selfs to decide which side was gonna win....what is the net gain exactly?
Excuse me if I don´t see it, but I don´t recognize the advantage to Europe here.
Europe needs actual African Allies and friends, not dictators we prop up. If Libya becomes a (relatively) tollerant Islamic democracy it will be no worse than the US a (relatively) tollerant Christian democracy. Actual practical progress in the Arab world will also help to ease up the religion as they bleed of all the angst from having boots on their necks for the last several hundred years.

On another note, every time I hear something bad about Libya it is usually followed by "Misrata"
