Western expectations?

"Colonel Qaddafi’s revolutionary ideology still clashes with Western expectations. He has failed to use his nation’s opening to make political and economic improvements at home. There may even be a degree of naïveté on the part of Colonel Qaddafi, who has expressed shock at the full-throated response from Washington and London." Western expectations? The US has had allies in the Arab world for decades: what have American expectations been? You talk about political improvements? What political improvements has the US extracted from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, UAE, Oman, Morocco, Tunisia, etc? Economic improvements? For sure. Economic improvements merely refer to opening the country to US corporations.
