Gadaffi's 42 year rule in Libya has attained plenty of Libyan citizens and other nations' attention. It's mainly a tribal issue and the fact that Libya was created for the convenience of European imperialism. Libya was always administered as two (unofficially three) separate areas due to tribal differences until those loosely Ottoman provinces were invaded by Italy. The eastern and coastal tribes marginalized the interior tribes and supported the king until Kadaffi (an interior tribe member) assumed control. His tribe is fighting to maintain the power he gave them. Nothing that the west should get involved in.

The major reason of the Libyan Civil War is the desire of the people of Libya to live with the freedom and liberty to live their lives. The people of Libya have lived under the iron fist, totalitarian, despotic rule of Muammar Muhammad al-Gaddafi for decades and want a different future.

Like most of the other Middle East and North African tyrants, Gadaffi rose to power during the appeasement presidency of Jimmy Carter. If it had not been for Carter, and the US had had a president like Reagan at that point, The Saddam Gadaffi Mubarak Khomenei regimes, would have never been given breathing room to sprout.
