As Libya is an oil producing country (although currently not one of the most important producers), war is an excuse to keep oil prices high and, therefore, the price of gasoline be higher than four dollars a gallon.<br />Thus, the international forces help the rebels, as they have a lower combat power than Gadaffi troops, but not enough to help them succeed.
