(The Economist) CALLS for a no-fly zone over Libya are
becoming much stronger, now that the Arab League has "unanimously"
backed the idea (though in reality Algeria, Sudan and Syria, all repressive and
undemocratic regimes, were unhappy about it). At an earlier meeting last week,

Arabia and the United Arab Emirates) was even keener to get rid of Colonel
Muammar Qaddafi, who has insulted a number of its rulers over the years.
