I'm hugely pleased to see other Arab nations contributing. It stops The Duck talking about 'Crusaders' for a start, and at the same time [hopefully] gives other Arab nations some credibility in this context.

It is, after all, fundamentally ...
  1. An internal Libyan issue.
  2. An African/Arab issue.

The foregoing obviously excludes Humanitarian aspects, Western oil interests, NATO's Southern Flank ... and the fact that there are many countries where similar interventions could be considered justifiable
