You mean they haven't held grudges on pretty much all previous resolutions? I can't see this changing much, especially when we have no idea how they were convinced to abstain instead of veto. The West is for it, the Arab League is for it, what reasons do China and Russia have for not abstaining? Most oil firms in Libya are Western . . . if anything, maybe they'll have something to gain out of this without having to contribute anything.
