Things don't look really good for the Libyan rebels right now at all, given the rebels don't have any air support or heavy ordinance... CC is right about the UN... by the time UN decides on something, rebellion might be crushed.
I find it funny that the Arab league would support intervention in Libya when their members, in Yemen and Bahrain for example, are out shooting protesters themselves?
