> You got it all backward comrade. Libya was just fine before France and the US intervened. Sure the infrastructure and liberties were not there, but that's kinda the theme of the region.

Here is a link to the civil war (Arab spring) before the involvement of other countries. I can find more if needed.

Unlike Tunisia, Libya had a strict and brutal dictatorship. Someone armed the people and France did intervene militarily to make them win. Otherwise, they'll be dead now and Libya would still have the same ruler.

I know because I live in Tunisia and the previous president did authorize moving arms to rebels through the country.
