Arab League condemns broad Western bombing campaign in Libya

Arab League members were taken aback by what they have seen and wanted to modify their approval lest they be perceived as accepting outright Western military intervention in Libya. Although the eccentric Gaddafi is widely looked down upon in the Arab world, the leaders and people of the Middle East traditionally have risen up in emotional protest at the first sign of Western intervention.

A shift away from the Arab League endorsement, even partial, would constitute a major setback to the U.S.-European campaign. Western leaders brandished the Arab League decision as a justification for their decision to move militarily and as a weapon in the debate to obtain a U.N. Security Council resolution

despite Western efforts to enlist Arab military forces, only the Western-oriented Persian Gulf emirate of Qatar has announced that it would participate in the campaign.

They thought they were getting a "no fly zone", instead they got bombing of people on the ground.

to get a no fly zone you must eliminate any threat to your aircraft.. which often means bombing things on the ground that shot at your planes...

A sure fire way to stop all of that mess would be a couple of well placed bombs. It worked wonders on Japan. If it wasn't for the US they would still be herding goats around the desert. Turn all of that sand into glass, take their oil and tell the rest of the world just exactly what part of our anotomy that they can kiss.
