Obama doesn't have to do anything to turn the people against their oppressive dictator. To attempt to coerce people into such a natural thing is futile. What Obama did was to protect the people and aid them any possible way. Operation Odyssey Dawn, read about it. Obama brought the initial planning and the most muscle but you already know all of this right?

I know that I was responding to what you said here.

"Turn their people against them and help them not invade their country and invest in trillion dollars and countless American lives for ungodly amount of years without any help."

Besides Qaddafi being a miserable dictator economic conditions were the primary cause of the uprising and Obama did in fact instituted the sanctions on Libya that were lifted by GW. We also provided them with material support in food aid, air support, and medical supplies. That's called turning their people against them.

My point was that Obama did nothing to start the uprising which started within. He support the uprising after it started and placed the sactions after the fact. I'll give him credit for the support he provided but not for getting any of this started.
