Hence why they want an end to the war ASAP by backing the rebels who overtook most of the East where all the oil is early on in the conflict

Um but if they wanted to protect their investments, wouldn't it have been easier to just let Ghadaffi crush the rebels? which he could have easily done without NATO assisting them...

I don't follow yur logic,.

That's not really possible, the West couldn't oppose the Libyan uprising because they were fighting for the same values that the West always preach; freedom, democracy etc. So once the Libyans have rebelled, started making gains and taken control of a lot of the oil then naturally they're going to support them especially when they were promising to trade with the West. It was only later that Gadaffi started to take back a lot of the country and was knocking on the door in Benghazi, from there they couldnt just ignore it and if Gadaffi did succeed in ruthlessly crushing the uprising then they still couldnt really continue to trade with a dictator who the world had turned their back on and who has destroyed the very rebellion the West were supporting

Well the west seems content to allow Cuba, and Syria, and China, and Iran, and North Korea to suffer without democracy...

Well yeah, there's either no uprising there or there's nothing to gain from military intervention

Not really no, it would be bloody, destructive, expensive and there's unlikely to be support for such a move. What would you do, just bomb the place to sh*t and install an American puppet government?

Looks like some Gaddafi Loyalists have sprung up in Tripoli again, I think people underestimate the extent to which some people do support him tbh
