Because there will always be those who get used to, and rewarded for, collaborating with the invaders. And once the country decides it wants its freedom, they will have to fight both the invaders and those who benefited from the invasion.
Or are you saying that S. Africa was NOT a victim of Imperisalism?
Anywhere there has been Western interference it takes decades, or longer to overcome the effects of it.
The battles fought to get out from under Colonial rule always, always, divide nations and result in even more bloodshed. Another nasty fact about invasions. And another reason never to support them.
And that is what Libya is now facing for its foreseeable future. The denials that anyone in Libya supported Gadaffi were pure western propaganda. They are organizing a 'united Libyan front' now to take back Libya from the 'rebels' or whoever they are. If the goal is to destabilize all these countries, then mission accomplished, and how tragic for those who are living there.
Egypt and Tunisia were absolutely right to insist on no intervention. And as a result, there were far fewer deaths than had NATO decided to provide some humanitarian assistance. It will take time for them to get the freedom they fought for, but it is THEIR fight.
