No government is perfect and because of that not every person who lives in a certain country will be happy with how it's ran. If the majority of people in a country are happy or at least content enough there will only be small groups who protest against the government or the specific polices that they disprove of. As a result the will be little or no change. However in a country like Libya where an ever growing group of people believe that the government or officials there of are abusing their power a revolt or up rising is almost assured. when this will occur is dependent on how much the people as a whole are willing to tolerate.
This brings me to when you should invade another country. The us has sent agents to Libya to investigate the unrest and taken action to prevent civilians from being injured. Is this invasion appropriate? In opinion i believe so. I believe that in cases where the government is committing mass destruction and murder against its citizens and there is an established relationship between your country and theirs such as a trading agreement or military alliance, you have a duty to mitigate that destruction. However if no relationship exists i think the only just reasons for invading another country are : being asked to intercede, or that country poses an immediate threat.
What if the country has alot of something a potential invader needs? Potential ally against a nerby enemy, oil, troops that could fight a war for them, things like that. If you want to make an omlett you got to smell napalm in the morning.
