Anyway there can be no thread about Libya without Libyan music which is awesome.
Whatever happens Libya it will have an supporter in me. My Muslim and Arab brothers and sisters with very close ancestral, cultural, linguistic etc. ties to KSA and the Arabian Peninsula.
I thought I would post that given that the thread turned personal again and to a petty discussion between several members not on topic.
That's a shallow conclusion dear and the US had nothing to do with the aspiration of the Libyan people. I refer to my post below:

US democracy at work...they installed justice now enjoy the justice!

I already discussed Libya in great detail in previous posts and this news is no different.
France says Southern Libya now a "viper's nest" for Islamist militants
Basically Libya is in a transition period where the civil society is getting rebuilt from point ZERO after 45 years of dictatorship. In fact it is a miracle that it has not been more bloody given how heavily armed the average Libyan is and how it is still largely a society shaped by tribalism and regional rivalries.
Libya is still suffering from the short-lived civil war but this will soon end and a new civil society from scratch (that's what is taking place) will soon see its light.
Libya is a very rich country. Just give them some time.
90-70 years ago 80 MILLION Europeans died. What is 30.000 dead Libyans in the past 3 years due to a civil war (goal achieved) and fighting in comparison? 2 times as many are born each month in Libya if not more. The population is growing and was growing despite the 6 month long civil war.
I am optimistic no matter who is going to rule Libya. They just like any other country in their situation need time to find their ground. Let them elect different rulers and see where it takes them. They need to learn from their mistakes the hard way. As all others before them learnt it.
Let us hope that he will return safely.
No way would a closed off, corrupt and dictatorial Libya controlled by the Gaddafi family for decades be better on the longer run than the new democratic Libya. At least the Libyans can decide their future now and I am sure that they will learn from their mistakes.
