As the weeks go by and the new guys running the show in Libya continue to show their ineptitude, the risk of an internal counter-revolution or invasion of Libya grows. Do I think the remaining Gaddafi boys will round up some mercenaries and foolish Libyans and try and retake the country for House Gaddafi? There's a chance that Khamis is still alive and laying low so he can figure out a way back into power. Mohamed Gaddafi, Hannibal, and Saadi are probably better suited to tearing up the dance floor than taking over Libya so I don't think there's much threat from those three.
However, there's also a chance that Egypt will create a pretext so it can roll in and steal the wealth of the Libyans in order to fund the revived Caliphate of the Mamelukes or Fatimids. Egypt is the biggest threat to Libya at this point due to their location, large and impoverished population, and ability to quickly and easily overpower the current government of Libya. Hell, at this point, even the Knights of Malta could probably overwhelm the Libyan government and at least have a night of drunken revelry to celebrate their conquest of the New Libya.
The citizens of Libya either don't realize or don't care that the longer the new government takes to stabilize the country will only make the task of rebuilding the country that much more difficult and expensive. The cost to Libyans of getting rid of House Gaddafi in terms of lives lost, lives irreparably damaged, destruction of property, and untold billions of dollars stolen by foreigners or even by Libyans can never be truly calculated. We Libyans owe other Arab countries, the West, and especially America a lot for their help in liberating Libya. Libya has to honor its debts and obligations or we will surely suffer more and I think Libyans are tired of suffering.
Finally, the Americans are making a list, and it's not for Santa Claus, of Libyans who will soon either die or be captured for their role in killing the four Americans on September 11, 2012. I think most of those targeted will be the hard core Islamists who are now coming out of the woodwork in Libya and across the Muslim world. Salafists who peacefully practice their version of Islam should be welcomed in the new Libya. However, anybody who thinks they can impose their will either through violence or the threat of violence must be stopped because both the tyranny of the majority is as wrong as the tyranny of the minority. And by that I mean that House Gaddafi with all its corruption and stupidity had to be stopped and the imposition of a supposed theocracy in Libya must be stopped.
The following are a couple of links to give you some references to the ideas I have written about above:
