After Gadafi conquers all the rebel cities, he will begin to slaughter those who dared to oppose him, and once it happens, he will be back as a friend to Europe and the USA.
The Saudis, Bahrainis, Egypt and Jordan have everything they need to not only enforce a no-fly zone but give tactical air support to the Libyans as well. The Jordan, Egypt, and Bahrain have squadrons of F-16's. The Saudis have F-16's and F-15's as well as the E-3 Sentrys.
As for the U.S., if you've noticed over the last 10 years we been rather occupied.
He was a terrorist in the 80's
The he was a good guy, a bit on the rogue side, but oh hell, he was selling oil and gas, so his sins were forgiven
When his own people began the revolution against his regime, the West sided with the rebels
After weeks of intense battles, and when the tide turned and he began seizing more and more cities, the very same who where supporting the uprising are now turning their heads.

The west aids the Libyan rebels and the Islamic world is outraged at "Western interference" in the Islamic world.
The west takes a wait and see stance on Libya and the Islamic world decries "lack of support."
Face it. Islamic problems should be addressed by the Islamic nations first. What have any of them done besides complain that non-Islamic nations aren't doing what they should be doing for themselves?

For the most part we just haven't gotten involved. Frankly, if we DID get involved it becomes propaganda to crack down even harder as the govt. then discredits the rebels as being pawns of the west.
There are a million threads around here where we are the bad guy for having embargos on Cuba, for North Korea, the list goes on and on. I even had a guy blame the US because NK had starvations because we were making them spend their money on nukes etc.
Sorry, if they want freedom they can fight for it. These are many people that have no love for the west and they can work it out themselves. Best of luck.

So you think the western world is respeonsible to govern the world? What support ;moral because I haven't seen any other type promise or given really.What about all their freiends i the region;all talk and no action seems to me.
Headlines aren't the actual stories, read a little.
President Obama signaled Friday that the U.S. military might intervene in Libya at the point that "defenseless civilians" are under attack by forces loyal to Col. Moammar Kadafi, but said even then he would weigh the costs of sending American personnel and carefully consider whether such an operation would be "sustainable.
You said....
"I could have sworn obama said we were going to intervene and protect the protesters. Maybe after Moahmar gets done with them, huh?"
Gaddafi is a friend to Obama's buddies Rev. Wright and Louis Farrakahn. Obama will do nothing of substance unless/until pushed by the U.N. .
No, you've got it backwards....Obama doing nothing IS doing something of substance.
