The most likely scenario seems to be akin to Iraq in the 90s.  Qaddafi still in power but ability to massacre rebellious regions checked.  As we know that's not competely stable.

I sorta second opebo's gripe and think self-parody is healthy.  Which reminds me: What gives Libya the moral right to not be invaded by us again?  Because Qaddafi controls territory by force he's immune to someone stronger taking it over?  That said, we don't know that Qaddafi's overthrow would be good for containing the threat of radical Islamists, we're getting in too late and our military is already stretched.  Better if Egypt and Tunisian militaries intervened.  Not that they would.
