France Helping the Libyan Rebels?

I was not surprised when i heard that the French Government was actually helping the Libyan rebels by air dropping weapons to them. This has truly brought out the motive of the French and the west in the ongoing conflict in Libya. The Americans are also said to have CIA Operatives on the ground in Libya and they are also helping the rebels with intelligence. Is this not an infringement on the sovereignty of another country? The Libyan people should beware of people who come bearing gifts. They did it to Saddam Hussein for him to fight on their behalf against the Iranians and they later turned against him to accuse him of keeping weapons of mass destruction. Now, we all know why NATO is making sure that Gaddafi leaves Libya by every means possible. Whilst this is going on, innocent civilians are the ones bearing the brunt of the wrongly targeted buildings, and as usual, they will come out and apologise to the families of the bereaved. Why should a country kowtow to the whims and caprices of another country because it has the power to make and unmake the leader of that powerless country? They did it in Afghanistan and later this so called ally turned against them and they branded him a terrorist. Dont be surprised when after the exit of Gaddafi, for some years to come these same weapons that was given to the rebels will be termed as weapons of mass destruction, and whoever will be in power will be called upon to allow the French and other western powers to get access to the sites of these weapons for them to be destroyed. If we can all recall, any country that had western help in overthrowing its leader never enjoy's peace for a long time as those dislodged will not let those in power to rule. They will also use all means possible to make that country ungovernable. The AU is holding a summit in Equatorial Guinea and they have condemned NATO'S military action in Libya, lets wait and see how far that condemnation will go, as usual it will be brushed aside by the western powers.
