Afghanistan, Iraq, and now Libya?

While I have as much distaste for Qaddafi as the next guy, and I really don't want to see innocents massacred by his loyalists, I really don't see an end game here. Short of getting into one of his palaces and assassinating him, the most likely outcome seems to be a divided Libya, with the rebels holding the eastern portion and Qaddafi holding the west.

Who's going to be satisfied with that?

Simple answer. Nobody. The east portion of Libya would be nominally free, but they would have no oil wealth (which is in the west), and Qaddafi would have no reason to ever cooperate with the Western powers ever again.
