We have seen the arab spring, could it be that they will also move to be free of the religious nutcases. This could be a lesson to move against religious nutcases in other places

Or maybe a reaction to a proposed 40% cut in U.S. aid to Libya if my math is correct based on this article.

"President Barack Obama is proposing that American taxpayers spend about $1.55 billion on aid to Egypt and another $1.5 million – not billion - on aid to Libya in the fiscal year that starts on Oct. 1, which would be the same amount allocated for Egypt in the current fiscal year, and a decline of about $1 million in Libyan aid."

Not everyone is motivated by money, in any case I expect the Libyans weren't willing to pass over one tyranny for another and were smart enough to recognise it. There are different levels of fundamentalism in various countries. I expect the US owes greater allegiance to Egypt than to Libya
