Like many people have said in this thread, it's business... And in each deal there are 2+ parties involved, and often they aim at totally opposite goals. If you take the position of one party, you'll find their reasoning right, if you take the position of another party your view of right and wrong can get absolutely different.
Each conflict like that is business, not involved in the conflict countries can nominally be trying to stop it but in reality make bank selling weapons. Speaking about moral - yes, that's wrong, but if the money helps the economy then it seems ok.
Another point - you never know the truth! Mass media has been the main political weapon for a long time now.
I've seen a few interviews related to the conflict, including the recent one with Saif Gaddafi, and he did bring up some interesting facts that partly justified the regime in my eyes.
But still I can't take this or that position in Libyan case because there are too many "buts".
What I know for sure though - politics overall is dirty shit. Can't blame them for that though, it's the result of our world structure and geopolitics, so they have to play the "game".
