So how does the Libyan intervention play into your narrative?

  You mean how they supported some small groups (mostly of mercenaries posing as "rebels", used by western powers to mimic the actual popular uprisings in Egypt and Tunis), toppled the dictator, established a puppet interim government, and turned a stable for decades years country into an unstable civil war nightmare with more to come? Yeah, what about the Libyan intervention?

    Given that the Arab League was asking for NATO help, this was a 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' situation. Clearly one that gives you glee and plays into some nationalistic inferiority complex that you have with respect to American hegemony. The point though was that the mission was accomplished with minimal civilian casualties (or as minimal as one could expect from an urban guerrilla war) and there were no combat troops on the ground.
