It would have been recognised from both sides of the debate that libya was likely to experience problems after the removal of gaddafi.
The reason why it received support would have been due to the belief that the alternative scenario of gaddafi staying in power would be worse and that libyans themselves would overall see it as a good move.
Polls from libya so indicate that this is the case.
Comments such as this come up every now and again, they tend to rest on a false premise. That those in favour of the libyan intervention somehow believed that if it went ahead everything would turn out perfect and that libyas problems would then become a thing of the past.
The truth, which in turn has been pointed out before, is that those in favour of the intervention recognised that libya would face many issues afterwards, but that nevertheless it would be better than the alternative which involved gaddafi staying in power.
Libyans themselves have shown this to be true when asked time and time again.
