I bet the Nobel Foundation would like its Peace Prize back.Which is more peaceful and moral, allowing a dictator to attack unarmed civilians when you have the means to stop him, or stopping him even if it doesn't involve just diplomacy?
Unfortunately, allowing the US to fulfill the role 'world bully' is not very good for the US or the world. Perhaps other Arab nations should be the first responders in their region.
As far as "Arab/US relations" goes - I'll point out that *other Arab nations* were among the group asking the UN Security Council for action.
Perhaps the Arab nations or UN should have bombed him. Instead, the US is boasting about the 110 missiles that it placed in a sovereign nation. Its very unfortunate that civilians and citizens (from all countries) must take responsibility for their politicians and leaders. The last time a group of radicals got pissed off at US policy and actions, they did *not* fly airplanes into a sitting session of congress or the white house.
