The real reason Gaddafi had to be killed.

"The emails indicate the French-led NATO military initiative in Libya was also driven by a desire to gain access to a greater share of Libyan oil production, and to undermine a long term plan by Gaddafi to supplant France as the dominant power in the Francophone Africa region."

I doubt Libya is that big a treasure trove for America, France etc to set up the rest of NATO and invade:

Not every single foreign policy led by America or us has to have an underlying scummy motive.
