The problem is exactly what you mentioned. Lack of individual involvment and in many cases lack of poilitical experience and understanding of the masses in this countries, that have been opressed for a long time.
Two perfect examples. Iran and Rhodesia/Zimbabwe.
This both countries after bloody revolutions went from being opressed by right wing to being oppressed by left wing dictators or left wing/islamists they brought to power.

It is nice we can find common ground to agree. When people educate themselves, quit listening to what they are being led to believe by the media and make decisions for themselves about information they figure things out.

Restructuring for government is a difficult process. The radicals and extremists know this well. The insurrections are organized. There are people waiting quietly on the fringes that already have a formulated agenda and plan of action.

It has not been possible to depose the radicals and extremists in most revolutions, because when the revolution comes it is usually their design.

The only way possible would be to have organized groups of people within the respective countries that understand "We the people" would be ready with a plan of action.

America has tried to provide the framework for nation building in Iraq, by maintaining a firm association with Iraqi leadership. If a democratic form of government does prevail in Iraq that would be a major victory for the freedom of all people in the Middle East.

There are many worst case scenarios that could play out with a defeated Gadahfi, and the prospects for a best case scenario are slim to none. IMO, of course.
