"Sort that country out" is an euphemism for killing tens of thousands of people on both sides of the war.

No.

No really. There is a civil war already. Helping out a legitimate government is a good thing, if you can find one. Just ignoring it and hoping for the best isn't a great strategy either.

And now that "legitimate government" is collaborating with a foreign invasion, and owes a huge debt to the foreigners who put it in power for the explicit purpose of exploiting the country's natural resources.

Will it still be seen as "legitimate"?

Maybe I was wrong and the civil war is over, it probably doesn't need invasion but would benefit from a strong European partner to help develop the country. Libya should be a rich country. Ideally it would develop to the benefit of its citizens and Europeans who are looking for gas suppliers.

The cold may kill as many in your own country.

Right. If you want to perform a regime change, look at its historical track record in countries like... Libya, the invasion of which was called the worst mistake of his presidency by Obama.

You make it sound like the more Africans you kill, the more warmer Europe gets, which is nonsense. Last time I checked, wars only destroy.

Civilized discourse with warmongers is impossible. If you want regime change in some country thousands of miles away, go do it yourself. I am not going to send myself or my kids to die for your hubris.
