My opinion? I see some similarities.

A raging despot in Libya, ruling with an iron fist and by fear over his citizens.

Main difference I see is we thought Iraq had WMD and thought that they were going to use them.

If we go into Libya, it looks to me as though it is purely for humanitarian reasons, not in what we claimed (please note I said claimed) was defense.

Exactly. Iraq did not warrant an immediate humanitarian intervention. Hence a completely different situation.
