Exit Strategy?

So does NATO have an exit strategy from the Libyan Conflict? How does it expect to win? Will it have to kill Qaddafi and sons to feel able to pull out? Will it have to place troops on the ground? Will Libyans be the first Middle Eastern state to take its own future into its own hands, once the intervention is finished? Or will it like numerous other states hold the US and Europe to ransom to rebuild its infrastructure, thus losing its real independence  with it? How can NATO turn around and go if Qaddafi is still in power, it never learnt its lesson from the 1970/80s and the terror that was rained on the world by Qaddafi then. What will he be capable of now, knowing that he has nothing to lose? Is their a possible face saving deal, and if so who will take Qaddafi? Saudi Arabia?

The Questions can go on and on, there are no answers, which is why getting into this mess in the first place was wrong, it was the right thing to do but the way it has been done is weak. If you bomb Libya why not Syria.... double standards, or just understanding that they were wrong in the first place, you can't change a regime from the air or afar, you have to get stuck in and get dirty. There is no easy way and that is the lesson to be learnt.
