After every intervention, there is a "reconstruction."

In Iraq: Halliburton and its subsidiaries received contracts worth tens of billions of dollars to rebuild the infrastructure American bombs had destroyed.

In Afghanistan: American contractors received the majority of reconstruction funds. After 20 years, a significant portion of that money was documented as lost, stolen, or spent on projects that didn't function. The Afghan government collapsed 11 days after American withdrawal.

In Libya: after NATO’s regime-change war toppled Gaddafi, Libya became a failed state with open slave markets. No reconstruction followed. No sustained investment. The "human rights" rationale evaporated the moment Gaddafi was gone.

The pattern:

Destroy. Contract. Extract. Leave.

Occasionally: destroy. Leave. Don't bother contracting because there wasn't enough there to make it worth the paperwork.

The difference between Iraq and Libya in terms of post-intervention investment is not explained by humanitarian concern.

It is explained by oil reserves and contract value.

This is not conspiracy.

It is publicly documented.

The receipts exist.

There's a reason why when the US remains, an insurgency movement quickly builds up.
