Most assuredly. They most likely will just install another Islamic Government that makes a mockery of women's rights, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and on and on and on...

Honestly people, really? While I am sure that our Governments want to take advantage of the situation, the rebellion is genuine. God forbid you ever get oppressed by your country then call for help, only to met with scorn and accusations that your a religious extremist and terrorist. Gaddafi is a twat, a monster and a total dictator. Mss murder has been committed on numerous occasions in the past and was about to take place this year before the French swooped in to stop his brigades taking Benghazi.

The Libyan leader proposed the nationalisation of U.S. oil companies, as well as those of UK, Germany, Spain, Norway, Canada and Italy in 2009. On January 25, 2009, Muammar Al Gaddafi announced that his country was studying the nationalisation of foreign companies due to lower oil prices. "The oil-exporting countries should opt for nationalisation because of the rapid fall in oil prices. We must put the issue on the table and discuss it seriously," said Gaddafi. "Oil should be owned by the State at this time, so we could better control prices by the increase or decrease in production," said the Libyan leader. These statements have worried the main foreign companies operating in Libya: Anglo-Dutch Shell, British Petroleum, U.S. ExxonMobil, Hess Corp., Marathon Oil, Occidental Petroleum and ConocoPhillips, the Spanish Repsol, Germany's Wintershall, Austria's OMV , Norway's Statoil, Eni and Canada's Petro Canada. In 2008, the Libyan state oil company, National Oil, prepared a report on the subject in which officials suggested modifying the production-sharing agreements with foreign companies in order to increase state revenues. As a result of these contract changes, Libya gained 5.4 billion dollars in oil revenues. less

Turn off your television and stop been a royal British slave, nice little propaganda you wrote there just like those propaganda east Libyan terrorists.
We have this debate every time, chap. I must have shown you hours of video taken by actual people on the ground by now, plus reams of supporting evidence for crimes perpetrated historically, but you just ignore the posts (litterally - will not even ackowledge I gave you the evidence as you can't discount it) and carry on.

Yawn.... Why would the British (despite it being a French led op) want to overthrow a regime that just a few years ago signed massive Oil deals with our companies? Your argument doesn't stand up and all you can do is rant and rant...
Tell you what, if he's so damn great, go there and fight for him. Do the world a favour and get rid of those "terrorists".
"Gaddafi is loved by his people" - Clearly he isn't, otherwise he wouldn't have spent the past 40 years brutally suppressing his people. If he was so loved, why hasn't he managed to mobilise more than 20,000 troops, most of them are actually Tuareg and Malian mercenaries, not even Libyans.

"It's for Oil" - No, it isn't. We had our Oil companies in there up until he started killing everyone.
"Rebels are terrorists" - Really? Because every rebel I have ever seen interviewed by whatever media outlet you care to choose has been a Libyan who, up until a few months ago, had a normal life working as engineers, teachers, cleaners, cooks and shop assistants. Normal people who, as a group, have collectively decided enough was enough.
