Libya: let`s bomb them to post-Kadafi

So the question is (and I know it`s very hard to keep up with all the questions in the modern world): why are we deploying military power in Libya right now? Well why exactly? Is it to defend the "rebels"? Is it to oppose Kadhafi`s dictatorship? Is it because he`s attacking his own people? Human rights? UN Security Council Resolution 1973? I`m not sure. As a matter of fact the international community is not sure about why they are flexing their muscles either, except for the fact that they "kind of got tired" of a dictator they supported for 40 years. That includes 40 years of invitations to summits of heads of state, 40 years of shaking hands between the leaders of Europe and Kadhafi in the diplomatic airport salons and at exclusive summit luncheons, 40 years of taking this guy seriously and actually supporting him and his authoritarian government, 40 years of arms deals between Kadhafi and the West.

But you have to admit: "getting kind of tired" of a dictator you`ve supported for 40 years hardly gives you the right to start a military operation of this scale, especially not if UNSCR 1973 demands "an immediate cease-fire and a complete end to violence and all attacks against, and abuses of, civilians". Strangely enough (but this irony is a flip-coin to the western hypocrisy) the resolution should bring peace, but it brings more military violence. As with most of these conflicts in oil-producing countries the western "humanitarian" concern will soon make place for a sort of boredom and a superiority complex calling out that "they will never learn". And then the world will move on to other things, while the oil of Libya is under definite Western control again. So let`s bomb them (whoever they may be) to post-Kadhafi, even though we don`t have to look too deep to see that we really don`t know what that is supposed to mean.
