Subject: Hard to Say This Was not Expected

The Arab League is now complaining about the widespread "allied" bombing of Libya.
This is a no-win situation and that is one of the many reasons, I suppose, why a CNN poll showed that 65% of Americans do not support Libyan intervention.

The problem ISTM is that the "Arab League" isn't a single voice - there were "Arab League" guys saying "something needs to be done" last week, and pushing in the UN. It's a bit like reporting "Americans" as being both for and against - it's pretty easy to find someone in both camps to represent that group.
