Difficult to say.
On one hand, they (the Libyan people) should not have picked a fight with Qudaffi if they were not willing to lose all and suffer mass casualties. They had to know going in that he was not going to go easy. So with this in mind, I have to say they picked the wrong dictator to try to overthrow and whatever he does is only a reaction to their action. Still, they continue to fight him.
Then on the other hand, there is a point where enough is enough and the rebels are being slaughtered. They are outgunned. They need help, because of they don't get it, they are all going to die.
As asshole of a thing as this is to say, I lean towards the old rule of, don't pick a fight with the biggest kid in school unless you're willing to get your ass kicked. This sets a poor example around the world, which is, TRY to overthrow your government, and if you lose and it gets too bloody, the rest of the world *may* help you.
