That's a lie. I have stated my reasons in post 31, which if you recal you logically destroyed so concisely. I think the main motivation is strategic, because they don't want disruption on the southern flank.

This is the first time in this discussion you have mentioned gold. Gaddaffi must have an awful lot of it for the West to risk (and spend) this much to try and grab it. You're right about the bank accounts being small potatoes. Libya's UK bank accounts have now been unfrozen and turned over to the Libyan rebels. They came to approx 140 million dollars.
