    There was a full-blown civil war in Libya well before the intervention of NATO (which had unanimous support from the UN security counicl).

      There was a full-blown civil war in Libya

      And how did the bombing help exactly? Not to mention the western participation in the formation of the civil war itself, with its constant meddling and sanctioning against the Libyan government.

      Not unanimous, but not vetoed either (Russia and China abstained from voting).

      Sarkozy’s personal interest in the matter also make me doubt France’s wouldn’t have been different under any other government

      Edit: I’m not disagreeing with the whole “the UN allowed it”, and the general unrest in Libya before the intervention. Just adding context
