Libyan intervention: good or bad?

If israels position would be weakened a bit, that would be beneficial for everybody. Even for israel itself.

I think israels position is already weakening. Europe is more and more distancing itself from the 'unconditional-support-position' and america will simply have to follow this. It is simply unsustainable.
America is clearly losing it's influence in the region. They are no longer able to dictate everybody over there what to do.

I sometimes think we europeans should simply offer israel EU membership. In order to fullfill the criteria, israel would have to give it's arab citizens full civil rights, stop occupying foreign territory, etc. Maybe that would be an incentive. I know many israeli's would want to be EU citizens but membership is totally unrealistic if israel keeps doing the way it does.

There's an inherent problem with any democracy that is put in place by US efforts. The same problem with having free-market capitalism built upon slavery. How can a flimsy holographic depiction of bipartisanship become the foundation of a new democracy in the Middle East?

An interesting sentiment. Tho the unification of many nations under single organizations/banners is quick to make me feel concerned.
