Entire World's inaction in Libya

Finally some action by Arab League.

Based on the reports from Libya, at this point this seems to be totally inadequate action. Damage is already done to most Of the rebel forces. Now ground offensive by Gaddafi's militia is going on to wipe them out. At this time it should have been complete warning to Gaddafi Inc to leave country immediately. But then 90% of Arab leaders have their own autocracy at stake. They simply can't let one of their brethren go off so easily.

However, they are better than US, who could have done a lot more, much more earlier at much lower cost to Libyans and even their own forces. That was total failure of Hilary Clinton and ultimately one of the biggest failure of Obama's presidency. They need to understand one simple fact of diplomacy. You want people to be your friend not just regimes. If people are friend, regimes will be ultimately your friend. American Diplomacy needs to change their policy and instead of playing politics they need to follow fundamental facts and abide by them.
Unfortunately, now with Japan's earthquake and Sunami disaster libyAn people and it's uprising will fade away from rest of the World's memory. Good example was the news of police firing directly on civilians. Everyone will take advantage of this situation in. Middle east and try to suppress people's revolution for the time being.
