In 1991 to even 2003 there was no Twitter/Facebook that allowed for mass communication like we have today, and I believe this is the single largest difference in why we are seeing so many revolts all springing up at once. Those who want to, know they are not alone and as always in these things a show of force by many makes it so much easier to be a part of it.

I agree times have changed and this part of fighting for freedom is great but in all affairs timing is everything, and interfering in Iraq was like getting a beaten wife to leave her husband and two weeks later she's back with him again.
In Libya, I expect the allies to be in and out in a comparatively short time, because the people are united in their thirst and want democracy. If we had of waited for the Iraqi people to move, the USA would probably be in and out quickly too, instead of spending trillions of dollars to enrich the fat cat friends of Bush.

Freedom is a universal desire....many need help attaining it, others do not.
I know there will likely always be countries where this becomes unattainble for a variety of reasons, but where it is needed and wanted, assistance should be given. __________________

I agree, freedom is a universal desire but despite what Bush said, this was all about getting rid of Saddam without thinking of the consequences, where he helped spend the USA into their financial trouble by it becoming a long drawn out affair. You hit the nail on the head though when you said 'where it is needed and wanted. The wanted part was the problem and led to the trumped up evidence of WMD.
