More to Ace's point: One has to be concerned that other potential uprisings will have a false sense that the US will provide similar support to their cause, since they did it in Libya - thus emboldening them out of a slower, peaceful protest and reform - and into violent confrontation.
As we both said, this is new territory for the US. The path is more evident when there is an invasion of an ally. This? It's terribly easy to make a really big mistake.
