The only point I was trying to make is..listen carefully...is that LIBYA is different from IRAQ in that there was Arab support for this UN mission to LIBYA. GW went it alone with no support from the ARAB countries.

Except for the small Persian Gulf nation of Qatar, which is expected to start flying air patrols over Libya by this weekend, no other members of the 22-member Arab League have so far publicly committed to taking an active role. The U.S. has sold many of these countries, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, billions of dollars in sophisticated military gear over the past decade to help counter Iran's power in the region.
