I hardly think NATO is into creating an empire in North Africa! What should the international community be doing dogsbody in your opinion? They didn't create the current situation in Libya. They only responded after Gaddafi starting using his armed forces to quell the protests (read kill the protestors). And they are currently only attempting to limit the damage that Gaddafi can reap with his armed forces on his own people. If NATO did nothing there would be wholesale slaughter and arrests of the populace. At least now the opponents of Gaddafi have a bit more of a chance to defend themselves (only a bit).
