More the French government, but it does make you wonder how differently things might be for Libya today had NATO not intervened. Gaddafi and the Libyan army would have probably beat Benghazi into submission around March or April of 2011, and the civil war likely would have been a lot less bloody as it's hard to imagine it would have been so protracted had it been a true domestic conflict without Western interference. Today, Libya would almost certainly be a lot more stable with Gaddafi still in power.

It was Hillary Clinton specifically who is responsible for the war in Libya.

Yep. And Iran would be a lot more stable with the Shah in power. And Iraq would be a lot more stable with Saddam in power.
Jimmy Carter, Bush II, Obama, Hillary...evidently none of them agreed with what John Quincy Adams said about America:
“She goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy.”
Kadhaffi .should have remained a Russian ally and let them have a naval base there. Say what you will, the Russians stand by their allies until the last dog dies. America stands by our allies until the next Democrat is elected (not saying he was our ally, just making a comparison).
