What is the position of their fellow arab countries like saudi,uae etc..?Are they against western intervention?

they are part of arab league. & arab league is the key to impose no fly zone. In other words.. yes they are part of westeren intervention!!

I feel like those western countries are falling in their trap. Abstaining your vote is part of the game.

The US declined to name which Arab nations are going to participate, citing that "the governments have asked to make the press release themselves" but thus far only Qatar has made a statement.

that's like sitting in the fence.. right? when a rep of arab league gives a go ahead.. that means there is a consensus within the members of the league. any member who is against this, needs to come out & say that they are not part of this!! now.. are they waiting to see which way the wind blows??

I dont know why India is voicing concern when there has not been much civilian casualty.

 

[thebrownguy]

I feel the France, USA & co were to hurried on this issue. I mean, it is not even ascertained if these "rebels" represent the majority of Libyans or not. Who armed these guys anyways?

This is a gross simplification.

Battling they own battle.

Plus your not on the 15 nation council.

i'm sure pakistan has made it's openion public & so has other countries. it's just that voting member's openion is publicised more often than not!!

I just watched an interview with the British Defence minister, who referred to the nations currently in the operation against Libya as "the coalition of the willing" but that was probably a mistake.

This was popularised during 2003 Iraq war. Nations supporing or contrubuting men and machienes were called coalition of the willing.

I know I just found his slip of the tongue funny, because here America is trying desperately to discourage comparisons of this no-fly-zone with Iraq and we have the British defence minister calling the nations involved "a coalition of the willing" harking back to the Iraq war.

Guess I should have explained for those unfamiliar with the situation.

Russian President slams Russian PM’s 'unacceptable' Libya comments

I was surprised. India does not support the decision of the West.
Does not fear Western angry?

 

[VelocuR]

why would we point at Libya? It is ARAB's stupidity faults for messing up the definition of No Fly Zone.

They approved No-Fly Zone and then slam West airstrikes, what idiot they are.
