(re Libyan living standards)
It's still bullshit. Circumstantial, lazy stuff with no actual link, just attempts at making America the bad guys (which in this conflict will take some work). The above point has absolutely no relevance at all. This argument is not even necessary, since there are more than enough actual transgressions and legitimate crimes throughout the past few decades to justify intervention, including supplying arms to the IRA, sending death squads to assassinate people in foreign lands and generally destabilising the region. Oh, and murdering his own people.

Very well but there have been worse transgressions commited by other countries, so what is it that makes Libya so special?
Don't you find it a bit odd that the rebels would create their own bank before their own government (try finding a record of any rebellion doing this before)?

The US and UK are supplying the rebels

You could say they're supplying the rebels out of the good of their own hearts. Unfortunately their motives seem a bit suspect when you factor in that Gadhafi had pushed for a united Africa that refuses the US dollar and Euro while using their own currency, and this idea has recieved support from various African countries.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to get many links from main stream news sources on this particular issue, strangely enough:
