President Trump is the first POTUS not to start a new war in his first term in office for more than 40 years — and hypocritical Democrats are outraged.
With Libya (and Syria, too, although I think to a lesser extent) it's also important to note that the country was not at peace prior to the U.S. attack. There was some armed resistance that appeared to be genuinely popular. While some of that can be blamed on possible U.S. interference, people in other countries aren't just passive actors waiting for the CIA to give them orders; they can form opposition groups on their own, too.
Picking a side when a conflict has already turned hot seems different than attacking a country at peace. It certainly makes it difficult to say you "started" anything. The U.S. still deserves plenty of blame for where Libya is today, but equating that to the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan is ridiculous.
