If the Arab League wanted an intervention to topple a rival dictator, let democracy and human rights champions Saudi Arabia and Egypt do it with their money, their weapons and their Security Council charm. The USA could have voted with Brazil, India and Germany on the principle that Obama claimed he believed in when he ran for president: no more wars unless there is an imminent danger to the USA and/or a Congressional authorization.

Does anyone know who is in charge of this war?

The UN authorized it, but did not put anyone in charge. NATO does not have agreement of its 28 members to get involved. The EU is not doing much. The Arab League seems to be flip flopping. Britain and France pushed this but nobody else seems to want them in charge. The US seems to want to take out the Libyan air defenses and then leave it to someone else to actually be in charge. The Libyan rebels seem to have no organization. So who is in charge of this war?
