If the Saudis can intervene in bahrain I think it is only fair that the forces of liberation in Tunisia and Egypt intervene in Libya.

An Egyptian division could end this in two weeks.
The only way it could be better is if the Israelis intervene.
PDH!

Are you kidding?  Like me, the Israelis are hoping this thing lasts as long as possible.

I wonder if we've gotten to the point that no matter who wins the tribes that backed the losers will be butchered.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I know I'm probably missing something, but if the Arab League is so much in favor of a no-fly zone, what is stopping them from pooling some jet fighters from member nations, basing them in western Egypt, and doing the no-fly zone thing themselves?  :unsure:

Yep, I think that just about wraps it up for the opposition. Many are voting with their feet and fleeing to Egypt.

The next meeting of the Arab League should be interesting.

Because it is easier if big daddy does all the work and they can bitch if Big Daddy stays asleep on the couch. Win-Win.

Yes.  Complain about American non-involvement on one hand while bitching about how they won't stand for American involvement on the other.  Didn't Gadaffi leave the league because of that useless petty crap?
PDH!
