Not hardly. Why not impose no fly zones over Cuba? Why not impose no fly zones over North Korea? Why just Libya? And again, what benefit has the US received from overthrowing the government of Libya?

UN sanctions and resolutions precipitated the Libyan No Fly zones. The US did not act unilaterally or strictly in our interest, hence no direct benefit. Protecting civilians from attacks by their own military isn’t really a windfall profit operations.
