Hm. I don't think things are that simple. Libya is one of the most developed and richest African countries. People there don't pay for gas or water, they even get free apartments when they get married and things like that. If you're Libyan and want to study in foreign country, government will pay you ALL expenses.
So the things there weren't that bad at all. Gadafi killing it's own people? That's what media told us and that's what happened. But, what caused demonstrations?
If you have civil war than it's normal for government to defend itself. We don't really know which percentage of people was (and is) against Gadafi.
On the other side, it's obvious that west (France and USA) have some other interests... Libya lies on the oil and Gadafi is a guy you don't get to fuck with.
