He's asking a lot of the Middle East. Meanwhile, Libya's in northern Africa, the regime there was overthrown by jihadists who were not being funded by the US or EU. Also, he was getting pretty long in the tooth, as dictators go, and had ruled for a long, long time. Gaddafy's overthrow hasn't been particularly influential -- but the Benghazi massacre scandal may help put Hitlery's political career in its grave where it belongs, so that's a good thing. That would never have happened if Gaddafy hadn't been overthrown.
I guess you don't remember all the "coalition" airstrikes and no-fly zone.
To suggest we didn't have people/money/organization on the ground flies against reason.
