The intervention was to implement a UN resolution to force a cease fire: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Security_Counci...

Not even Russia or China voted against it at the time so apparently most of the world agreed it was a good idea.

I hope that you understand that bombing Lybia, supplying rebels with weapons and then making them kill Gaddafi is a direct opposite of a cease fire?

Or do you believe that a cease fire is when the other side ceases firing so you can get a good shot yourself?

So it's not OK for you watching how Gaddafi vanquishes rebels, but it is totally OK for you to watch rebels getting rid of Gaddafi, and aiding them to do so.

Shows the involvement clearly.

It could have been a trap

Iraq and Libya invasions, without recovery plan, made the west too morally bankrupt too succeed in Syria

A more strategic target to Russia
