I mean, if we steal the oil, which we are. Then they stop producing oil. Without oil, the economy collapses. The military and guerrilla forces engage in a regional conflict which may or not may spill over to other nations. The illegal drug trade becomes a primary industry and much like in Afghanistan becomes essentially legal and nessessary part of the economy.

Could democratic forces win out, maybe. But also it becomes Libya which is sort of not so good.
