Lybian war - why Western involvement?

Question

I understand that there was a Libian civil war, and I"m trying to understand a couple of things.

1) reason for the war in the first place. I suspect that the reasons are similar to the reasons for many of the protests in arab states in recent times. 

2) the justification for Western (US/UN/FR/UK etc.) involvement?  I can't see a clear reason why the West got involved?  

If the reason is because of atrocities committed against the people of Libya, then why aren't the same powers also now invading Syria?
