We in Pakistan have seen first-hand, how damaging these puppet leaders that the west installs are. Our current puppet ruler is wrecking the economy and local industry, thankfully he is widely unpopular and his time is almost up.
It's a sad tragedy that the Libyans are now at the mercy of this "democracy". The western-backed rebels were slaughtering thousands of black Libyans from the south even in their early days in Bengazi. The west has a history of installing and supporting genocidal puppet regimes like these, all across from Pol-Pot in Cambodia to the contras in Chile, and various brutal regimes all across South America. With a very powerful global propaganda media mega-corps, they talk in lofty terms of peace and freedom, while they kill millions of innocent unarmed civilians wherever they go, from the millions of dead Vietnamese, to the millions of Afghans and Iraqis.
The US and their European NATO posse tried to paint the revolution in Libya as some local struggle. But then, when the Al-CIAda rebels could only talk and not deliver, US/NATO had to directly step in, first with heavy bombardment and air-support, and eventually to western special forces units leading the fight against the Libyan military. My sincere condolences to the Libyans, we've already seen what this "liberation" does in dozens of cases. The puppet regimes the US installs are very damaging, willing to sell out on anything. Qaddafi was one tough nut to crack for these people though, they've been trying for very long. They tried to kill him with missile strikes in the 80's, brutally killed his 4-year old daughter instead. These are the people who go around the world lecturing everyone about humanity and liberty.
