That is what the US has done with the no-fly zone. The further step would be to supply arms to the rebels.
That is what they have asked for...not a massive US intervention or US ground forces.

It may sound impossible or what ever, but if you think outside the box and are willing to make those needed sacrifices, boycotting goods made in those countries...

Again, that is what the US has done by freezing $32 billion in Libyan assets under US jurisdiction and making it illegal for U.S. citizens or companies to do business with any of the 16 companies that control those assets that are under Libyan government control or ownership.
The freezing of those assets was the the largest amount of foreign assets ever seized in an American sanctions action....and the US is exploring ways in which those assets can be used to support the anti-government groups in Libya.
