If you were not willing to explore the regime’s offers than you do not value the lives of Libyans. They were suffering and an opportunity arose to stop the bloodshed. Extending the war and harming more civilians went against what the UN authorization was for.
The regime had one last city to retake, the rebel stronghold. So saying they were “likely” to win is an understatement. The rebels had no defense at the time besides the most basic equipment and training, enough to rebel but not win a war.
Extremist or not the people who captured, tortured, and executed the man were chanting Allahu Akbar while shoving crowbars up his corpse. Everyone involved is a traitor to Libya. Our British expert on everything in the previous page likes to twist and turn on issues like "they were fighting over refineries" and "not all of them were Islamists" but that is hardly the point, and guy has tendency to enjoy arguing about nothings.
The fact they are in control of anything is a travesty. Libya needs a strongman to keep them in check and, if I'm not mistaken, 50% of Libya agree.Again, as far as I can see, the extremists are only in control of portions of the country.
