IMHO, it is not right for a country to look another way if a crime is being committed on a massive scale. The U.S. has the moral obligation to stop atrocities from being committed being in the position to do so. Sadly, after the debacle in Mogadishu, the U.S. did not step to stop in the quagmire in Rwanda because the public would not support it.
It clearly made a mistake in Iraq but it was the religious conservatives in the Bush administration's fault. But everybody knows that Libya used to sponsor the MNLF and numerous other organizations, when they were still engaged in terrorism.

Read my earlier post. And it is not any countries right to interfere in how they run their governments. Please look at the track record of america, they said Iraq was harboring WMDs, libya was financing terrorists, etc. but in the end it was all about their interests.
