If Libyans fought and died for their freedom?

If the U.S., U.N., and NATO, would just let these people win their freedom on their own wouldn't they be better off? The 'freedom' we 'gave' to the people of Iraq and Afghanistan means very little to them, and corruption is rampant. Should we just watch as they change their own world?

Update:

Well, AMALONE, we have tried the one, lets try the other for a change. If we are damned if we do, and damned if we don't. Lets try the don't this time and see if it really makes a difference.

Update 2:

TAY---That's what they said about the colonists before we booted the british out of our country.
