Western Forces

Damn ... its started a lot sooner than I thought it would. The Arab League is already backing away form the UN enforcing the no-fly zone and no attacking civilians. Talking with friends yesterday I said that I thought something like this would happen.

Considering the size of Arab League member airforces there is no need for the West to supply planes to enforce things. The Arab League members could and should be doing it. Hell Saudi Arabia has troops inside Bahrain attacking protesters. Why not use some of their f-15's in Libya? By not doing it, Arab nations can now stand back and say "We aren't doing it ... the West is." When the Muslim Fundamentalists start using it as a rallying point the Arab nations will just point at America and other Western nations and say "They did it." And we (the Western Nations involved) fell for it.
