Arab League

I have never heard such praise for Arab League as I have in recent days and weeks.  Just because the Arab League served as a tool for Western governments, it saw it fortune grew in Western eyes. Normally, American diplomats have only disdain for Arab League and for Amr Mousa.  Read the last books by James Baker, Martin Indyk, and Dennis Ross.  They all mocked the Arab League and its secretary-general, Amr Mousa.  The eager-beaver campaign for US and Western military intervention in Libya should be read as part of his presidential campaign.  He knows full well that he is disliked in Washington, DC (Indyk in his book complains that Mousa is too sensitive to Arab public opinion--notice that it is only a crime to be sensitive to public opinion if the public happens to be Arab) and he wants to earn some US support for his presidential aspirations.
