Because he's blocking the US African Command, he controls part of the Mediterranean and he has let China in to find its energy needs for the future. We (the US) are trying to cripple our main rival, China by denying it energy. That's what this is really about; a reaction by the US.
If the US was concerned about humanitarianism, it wouldn't be killing all these people in Afghanistan and Pakistan with their drones and military strikes. Almost always it's civilians that are killed. And the US is reluctant to issue apologies about any of it. They say we thought we were killing Taliban or some other made-up enemy.
Press TV: Who will benefit from all of this other than the US? The other countries that comply with US wishes- What do they stand to gain from this?
America wants to rule Russia, China, Iran, and Africa, all of South America. They want hegemony over the world. That's what the word hegemony means. And they will pursue it at all costs.

War in Libya Could Drag On, Military Analysts Say , New York Times 4/20/11 by Steven Anger
PARIS -- "France and Italy said Wednesday that they would join Britain in sending liaison officers to support the rebel army in Libya, in what military analysts said was a sign that there would be no quick and easy end to the war in Libya."
Whew! Mega colonial conquerers and exploiters of Africa, Britain and France bad enough, but to think that the Italian government which once brought death to millions of Libyans, now sends military advisers to help overthrow the government it apologized to (under Gaddafi)??
"The dispatching of the liaison officers -- probably fewer than 40 of them, and carefully not designated as military trainers -- is a sign also, they said, that only a combination of military pressure from the sky, economic pressure on the government and a better-organized and coordinated rebel force will finally convince Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi that he has no option but to quit."
"Some countries thought the Libya operation could be over quickly," said a senior NATO ambassador. "But no military commander thinks so."
And now, one supposes the investors in war can sit back and relax knowing that a long drawn out bloodiest of wars is going along as hoped for, because Obama has ordered personnel siting in front of a screen of coordinates somewhere in the midwest to begin firing those pin point accurate missiles from drones already in the air in reconnaissance over Misurate, Libya. This in turn has precipitated a widening of the fighting according to BBC April 22.
Libya crisis: Misrata tribes 'may fight rebels'
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-13173628
Tribes loyal to Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi have given the army an ultimatum to drive rebels out of the besieged city of Misrata or let them do the job, a senior official says.
Deputy Foreign Minister Khaled Kaim said the army had tried to keep civilian casualties low but he tribes would not show the same restraint. The tribes were angry that people's lives had been disrupted by weeks of fighting that had cut the main coastal road and stopped trade in the city.
Tribal leaders say the seaport is for all Libyans not just the rebels, Mr Kaim said.
"The tactic of the army is to have a surgical solution but with the (Nato) air strikes it doesn't work." The US has authorised the use of armed, unmanned Predator drones over Libya to give "precision capabilities".
US Adm Mike Mullen, said the war in Libya was " moving towards stalemate" , even though US and Nato air strikes have destroyed 30-40% of Libya's ground forces.

"I just got this memo today or yesterday from the office of the secretary of defence upstairs. It's a, it's a five-year plan. We're going to take down seven countries in five years.
