" Letting Libyans kill each other for a while."
I agree with this policy for a couple of reasons. First, we don't know who these "rebels" are, what they really want, or what will be their policy toward us.
Second. If you abandon former allies like Mubarak and take a stand against a current government such at Libya's government. What do do our "allies" such as the Saudis and Pakistanis think, and how do they respond?
In the short term we can let them kill each other in Libya, we can support the Egyptian Military for a while. In the longer run the US needs a coherent policy that works. Two place we should have an inside track in helping form governments we can live with long term are Iraq and Afghanistan. I don't think we are doing this very well particularly in Afghanistan.
