The West deserves only so much criticism

March 12: The League of Arab States requests the U.N Security Council to impose a no-fly zone over Libya.

March 17: The Security Council approves a no-fly zone over Libya and authorizes "all necessary measures" to protect civilians.

March 19: Enforcement of the no-fly zone begins. French warplanes fly over Libyan skies, and American and British warships fire missiles into Libya.

March 20: The Arab League condemns the foreign military actions in Libya. General Secretary Amr Moussa says: "What is happening in Libya differs from the aim of imposing a no-fly zone."
