Getting sucked into this thread again!

Oh, I'm sure the European nations as well as the United States and the Arab League are all piling on Gaddafi and his family for the primary reason of restoring stability in the world oil market, and some modicum of concern for the humanitarian situation. It is a popular cause worldwide, evidently. Everything works well in this case for intervention, although it came at the last possible moment.

Note that the Republicans in the States have now shifted their critique from "intervention was needed yesterday" to "too much intervention too late."

The Arab League after a few stumbles seems to be back on board this morning. But real military support from Arab nations is needed fast to maintain popular support for the Coalition effort.

But who made the cut for the "Final Four"?
