my concern is that if "we" (the West) march in and get rid of Gadaffi for the rebels (or help them in a significant way) then the pro-Gadaffi side can claim that the revolution "wasn't valid" and the regime change "imposed" from outside ... and the war will go on for generations.

Peacekeeping force and a highly monitored election maybe?

That might defer the problem for a while. As long as there is a side that Gaddafi represents, and another side that opposes that side, they're going to want to fight. It's a human thing.

Let's face it, the only reason your lot and my lot aren't still fighting is that we got tired and decided to play football instead more enlightened counsels prevailed... :D
