with the potential to tap Libyan oil reserves and win major contracts and beat the europeans to it, i think the US wont be doing this under any kind of duress. lets face it, the US almost always get involved for their own interest, and thats understandable.
with the arab league disowning Muammar, i think his fate has been sealed. The arabs have for a long time wanted to get rid of this looney. Now is their chance. The longer the world waits to take down the regime, the harder it will be. They no longer regard his government as the legitimate government, and he's in political and commercial isolation. I dont think the world can blame the US for this. I see why the US has waited for so long to take a stand, and why they are insistant on the arabs taking a bigger role in Muammars removal. But commercial interests have never stopped the US from going to war, so i dont see this as any different.
will the world remember the US as a scapegoat? personally i dont think so. with the wave of world support against Muammar, its hardly likely. The US may have to mop up after the brits and french, but they can also pic up the pieces and the oil contracts too. Probably the reason why the brits are so trigger-happy right now.
