4. Human rights are better served if there is money being earned by the country.

One of the things that struck me about Riverbend's blog (Bush's Iraq invasion), was the post where she/he demonstrated with photos and facts that the Iraqis were completely capable of restoring the functioning of their oil production, as they did after the first Iraq war. Something that Bushco challenged, saying that Iraqis could not do it themselves.

Here, Libya has done it on its own. Good for them!

And since Gaddafi had not developed any other major revenue industries, it is important for Libyans to restart the generating of revenue from oil, otherwise the human right to live in health and dignity for all Libyans would be in jeopardy.

But of course, twisting anything to suit one's preconceived notions is the habit of some - mostly Faux by my experience
