Well, there may not have been a complaint of nuclear weapons with Libya, but otherwise it was basically the same thing. We went in, the President (once again) shucked his Constitutional duty and completely ignored Congress before starting the bombing, and we helped unseat a dictator.

A will not inevitably do X. However, given B or C to take power after A may, continuing on until you eventually hit that one that let's it get to his head.
