at the same time, most of the states in the arab league are in a curious position, supporting an action in support of rebels in libya---albeit on officially humanitarian grounds--who are carrying out the kind of revolt that most of the countries are either actively trying to suppress/avoid or are hoping to...so it makes sense, even if for that reason alone, that the organization would be particularly focused on the humanitarian grounds and violations of that logic.

Do you believe the Arab League voluntarily supported the UN resolution? Or could it be that they supported the resolution realizing the potential consequences if they did not.
Do you believe the average ME person on the street supports the UN resolution? I doubt they do. The silence from liberals is deafening regarding some ME people motivated into becoming terrorists because of western involvement in ME country affairs compared to when bush was in office.
