Michael Slackman

Michael Slackman is a good correspondent for the New York Times, and he wrote an excellent piece for the last Week in Review section of the Sunday Times. But I don't understand this piece of his today: he could not find one Arab who is opposed to US and Western bombing of Libya?  Yes, Qadhdhafi is destested by Arab leaders (and that explains Arab League move, in addition to US/Saudi orders to Amr Mousa), and he has no fans among the Arab public, but to suggest that there are no Arabs opposed to the Western bombing is quite a stretch.  Personally, I don't know of one Arab intellectual (among the leftists and Arab nationalists, in the region and outside) who is in favor of Western bombing.
