When it comes to these excruciating episode in history, such as Libya, there is a healthy way to look at this.

The coalition is saving lives everyday.  The coalition has reduced the ability of Gadaffi to kill his own people.  The danger to their lives from his forces still exist, but, it is ending day by day.

Sending in "USA military advisors" is not only unnecessary, it is a grave mistake.  The last aspect of life the poeple of Libya should be embracing is war.  Where military advisors go, armaments go and then there will be competing contractors to arm them and sell weapons followed by a ground war that will cause more instability and more call for USA troops and weapons to stop the increasing stability.

NO WAY.

Weeks ago there was a burgeoning government in Benghazi that needs to go forward and begin to construct leadership.  That leadership can take many forms, but, I doubt sincerely another dictatorship is what the people of Libya want.  They would cring at the possibility and perhaps start a civil war.  So, it is my opinion the government in Benghazi needs to be a 'representative' government with people from every province and possibly every hamlet voting for their own official to attend to business in Benghazi.

When the Benghazi government is ready to lead they can be recognized and seek ECONOMIC relations with other major countries best able to trade with them.  Local goods can be made in the homes of the people of Libya until other products are able to be produced in factories from international countries seeking Libyan labor.  All these dynamics have to be filtered through a central authority to be sure all standards of Trade are met and eventually Libya can even join the WTO.  Those ambitions will keep everyone in Libya busy seeking a higher purpose in life. 

Schools have to be established for children to be educated to improve the standard of living of the Libyan people.  A military to protect the people of Libya is not necessary.  Allies to the new government can enforce any sovereignty until Libya is ready to handle THOSE HUGE EXPENSES on their own.

Democracy is an inviting value system, but, it is a complicated set of dynamics that insure people have a voice in their own lives.  Those dynamics include an economy and education.  There is a lot to be done and the very same community that responded to the cries of the innocent in Libya will respond to their growing needs and expertise.

The goal is peace in the Middle East and no one is taking this lightly.  When munitions are substituted for governance and the miltary is revered as important over the lives of human beings, there is a neverending battle to achieve domination and ultimately nuclear capacity and we are off to the races again.

THAT  IS  NOT  GOING  TO  HAPPEN  HERE.

Libya is disarmed.  It will be completely disarmed in a few days.  It will remain disarmed and unable to establish any capacity to kill its citizens or other citizens again. 

When a country INVESTS 'it's treasure' in armaments rather than its people; quality of life is postponed in a detrimental way to peace within the country, the region and the within in the global community.  There is absolutely no reason for the people of Libya to postpone their own governance realizing they are not going to have their lives threatened by their own government ever again.

I remind.

Iran did not have a nuclear facility until the USA botched the blue prints for one and there were millions upon millions already invested.  With that investment and it being a Shi'ite nation, Iran was determined to have what it paid for and sought relations with Russia to achieve that end. 

There is no need to propagate that relationship with Libya or Russia ever again. 

The United Nations needs a new venue for countries such as Libya where the naivety of their leadership is exploited by capitalists seeking profits over the well being of citizens.  The United Nations is more than capable of providing guidance to these nations so their people are their focus and THE POVERTY that breeds extremism ends.

We have an opportunity with Libya, I suggest benevolent nations without capitalistic goals of military exploitation of the country and region step forward to secure the citizens from exploitation and place them on a path to benevolence and national productivity.

We don't need more pirates off the coast of Libya to destroy the economy of the Mediterranean Sea.  We need citizens with shipping companies and fishermen interested in feeding their nation to be among the productive economy of the Mediterranean Sea.  It is for that reason nations such as Italy, France and Great Britain will be among the best to assist the Libyan people.  If Turkey finds an advantage they should certainly seek ambassadors both at the United Nations and with the new Libyan government to build still yet another strong ally.

This can be done. 

It will be done.

There will be peace in the Middle East.
