I can’t understand what was the idea of that revo in Libya against Qaddafi. Far from being an angel the guy was in charge. What now? There’s neither stability, nor democracy in Libya! There’s only some fishy interim regime where they are busy sorting it out with each other.
Meanwhile the armed fighters are dangerously uncontrollable. They have begun real hunt on Qaddafi’s supporters. Those poor things that are seized are often subject to merciless torture! They may be also killed without any prior court proceedings. According to the UN data as much as 10 Qaddafi’s supporters have been held by the fighters.
Clear thing, Amnesty International has been sounding the alarm over this abuse of human rise and lack of order in Libya. Imo they’d rather have done this earlier ... when the mutilated body of Gaddafi himself was widely shown on TV as some amusing show.... in absence of any relevant reaction of the so called civilized community.......

This seems to be a pattern in most of the middle eastern revolts, either aided or unaided by the west. Most of these countries have very little foundation for their governments other than the cult of personality of their dictator, the military or religion. When the dictator gets knocked out generally the military will make a play for power. Very rarely does anything good for the people emerge, because very rarely is anybody on their side. Other countries support people who "can do business" regardless of how horrible they are(re Egypt and Saudi Arabia) and the generals just go for their own power. It's incredibly easy for these revolutions to get hijacked by people who have no interest in helping, and all to often they get to power.

It's unpleasent and depressing, trading one dictator for another with all the loss and bloodshed of a war besides.

IMO 99.9 percent of our support in mid east countries is directed by our interests (Oil or other resources) and not the plight of the people as suggested.
