There's one thing I don't get about the Libyan ''Civil'' War

It's about the Libyan rebellion, the so-called "Al-Qaeda" factor. A thought just came to me earlier this morning while reading a letter about the Libyan Civil War. The thing is, I've repeatedly heard that "Al-Qaeda" is created by the CIA in order to keep the US in permanent, never-ending war as the US continues to create real and/or imagined enemies (the name means "The Database"), but even if the rebels are supported by "Al-Qaeda" for real, other than the reason civilians being attacked by Gaddafi, why would the UN be so quick to impose a no-fly zone and allow NATO to help the rebels out? I mean, I thought the so-called "War on Terror" was to fight against them, but if they WERE a part fo the Libyan rebels, after almost a full decade since Sept. 11, 2001, after making a mess of Afghanistan and screwing up Iraq even after Saddam was executed, and after wasting billions and billions of dollars into a war that will not only fail but might never end and will bankrupt the US, why would the US government and military pull a 180-degree turn and support the very organization that they've been trying to obliterate for years in this so-called "war", especially in Libya? Gaddafi didn't pull another 9/11, yet why are we and the rest of NATO jumping in and placing the foot at the door where we aren't wanted in? Now that I heard that there's going to be "foreign boots on the ground" soon, something the rebels desperately want to avoid at all costs, I feel like I have to remain neutral about the whole thing. Although Gadaffi wanted to trade in gold dinars, has a fresh water supply in the form of a manmade river, and lots of oil to boot, I can't support someone like him that turns its guns on its own people just because the people dissent their leaders' agendas. I also can't support the rebels either because they've made a Faustian deal with the Devil. If you had a resource they want, they'll be more than happy to jump in and help you to get it in return for the aforementioned resources. However, if you're like Bahrain, are close friends with another nation, and don't have any resources they can take from you, then all I can say is "sucks to be you". If it wasn't for NATO, the rebels would've lost for real, but why couldn't they have found help from someone that didn't have a hidden agenda in the disguise of "humanitarian aid"? It's a Libyan "CIVIL" War. It's a war that takes place INSIDE a nation, just like the American Civil War of the 1860s. It's "Libyans vs. Libyans", it's a conflict that only they can resolve, one that we shouldn't be a part of, so why is NATO and the UN treating it as a world war and sticking its nose where it doesn't belong? If "Al-Qaeda" is a part of the rebels, why are we helping them when we've been throwing our money away for years in other countries trying to eliminate them? It doesn't make sense.
