Libya state is one of concern all around the world. With the western intervention in the Libya’s civil strife, it only begs to answer a question of what are the West motives. The world still has a lot of countries that are in need of intervention, where the larger public is oppressed and is under dictatorship for a long time. The Jasmine Revolution across the Arab countries sent waves across the world. It all started at Sudan and spread like wild fire across the world. To qualify Libya as part of the Jasmine revolution would be difficult because of two reasons. One is that it is not a peaceful revolution and the other is that it has not been started by the larger public, but a group of dissident public officials and politicians.
The West intervention on one level is welcomed, but it questions the motives of the West. It is good to see an international intervention is a civil strife where a group of people are fighting against the dictatorship and that for once the world does not stand at the sidelines to see what goes down and instead takes action, for a just cause.
Still there is a doubt that the West is doing it for the oil and the other resource that have to exploit in Libya. If a puppet government comes up, it will not bode well with the people. If, after this conflict is over and the rebels emerge victorious, and the West put too much influence over the new government, then it will not bode well with the people.
If things to not bode well for the public we will see a repeat of the Iraq. Iraq, where the Taliban had no presence at all, but after the American invasion came that all changed. The public became dissatisfied with the way things were going, and the Taliban offered them a chance to fight back. The same thing cannot happen in Libya.
It would add only the world problems.
