Another reason the Libyan thing could be a disaster is if Western nations are not helping the rebels to understand how to transition the government from tyranny to freedom. If the rebels are as disorganized about doing that as they are at fighting Kadhafi, the radical and/or despotic forces in the Muslim world WILL take advantage of it and take over there.
Muslim countries have NO idea how to transition from tyranny to freedom. It's easier to put some kind of dictator in charge and just try to get by with that. Just because they throw the bums out does not guarantee freedom will take over. It takes work to get there. HARD work! It also takes thinking in a manner they've never done before. By definition, they need help whether they think they do or not!
President Obama, working with other Western nations, you had better be prepping the rebels for the tough work ahead (after taking over the country) leading their nation to a level of freedom they seek and need. If you and other Western nations don't do that ... if you FOOLISHLY think they can do it on their own ... it'll be the SAME mistake Bush 2 made in Iraq for which you and your Democratic buddies criticized him so harshly (although justifiably). You WILL be doomed to make the same(!) mistake he did! Chaos will ensue in Libya and things most likely will get mighty ugly in a very short time. Obama has repeatedly criticized Bush 2 for not being prepared for the aftermath. Will he learn from that or repeat Bush's error? Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it!
