It worked during the Iraq Iran war. Sell arms on both side. Guaranted 1-2 million dead from this conflict only .What the West doesn't seem to understand is Gadhafi needs us. His country is small and until recently was isolated form the world. He worked out official diplomantic agreements with President G.W. Bush and an European Governmental Head who signed off Libya of their "terror state" lists after payment of $2.7 Billion dollars for the victims of bombings. Lybia has been helping Western Endowments, Boy Scouts, Arts and Education benefited from his recent friend of the West. So if our last Administration embraced him, why is the present U.S. administration, flip flopping?
Libya had real democratic reforms in the works, their process was slow but progressive. These rebels did not want to wait. We should not turn our backs on our friend as other governments will see this for what it is. To appease the West, you will be abandoned and betrayed, is that the message you want to give the world community?
P.M Tony Blair visited Libya and so did C. Rice who saw first hand the progressive reforms and made favorable reports under the last U.S. Administration.
Gadhafi has fought against Al Queda, from its very beginning and joined in the War on Terror from the start.
We could offer medical help, food aid, to the Libyan Government on the condition of more rapid democratic reforms. This could be non-military aid or what the two agree on.
