Because it’s that easy to counter Islamic extremism in a power vacuum

Hey look I found the exact issue the UN peacekeepers address in these exact situations

The 2015 British Parliament inquiry found that the Islamic extremists fighting Qaddafi would not have succeeded without western air power, weapons, intelligence, and personnel, meaning the best way to prevent the humanitarian crisis in Libya would have been to fucking leave Libya alone in the first place.

Just let Gaddafi murder people who want democracy with superior air power guys. It's simple.

Yeah? And how the fuck did that strategy work out anywhere else in the middle east?

people who want democracy

The coalition air mission was to support Islamic extremists in battles against the Libyan government. Those rebels wanted an Islamic state in Libya, not a democracy. They were also committing racist pogroms and atrocities against black Libyans, and western operatives on the ground were aware of it the entire time.
