I'm not a head man in the Pentagon or UN or anything, so I could be wrong, but I would imagine there's alot of plans written up for alot of regions around the world. The powers that be just wait for the opportunities to execute those plans, and sometimes provide the spark to initiate the opportunity.

As for why Libya? Fucked if I know, but Libya nationalizing its oil fields probably didn't help dissuade people from pursuing military action. Same as Iraq. Saddam was threatening to switch Iraq's oil into EUR. The US administration probably thought, "Fuck you, if you think you're switching your oil into EUR, we'll just take your country, and hang you, ya cunt".

I think that's pretty much how things work these days.
