The U.S needs to help the rebel forces set-up a cooperative government in Libya otherwise leaving the citizens to their own can lead to further conflict in the already bloody civil war. It is already known that Islam will be the basis for government but Libya is a moderate Islamic nation and extremist did not help the rebel forces; therefore, the rest of the world does not have to fear an extremist takeover because extremist were not among the rebel leaders. We can look to the example of post regime Egypt and it shows the world the detriments of a hands-off approach by the U.S. Right now there is power vacuum in Egypt which in past historical events, usually leads to an extreme form of government. The United States needs to take the time and help promote "pro-Western political movements in Libya".
