The Saudi involvement in Bahrain shows that they are fully capable of assertive action if they see it as being in their interests.

About "bombing" Qaddafi - why does it have to be bombing? Not to mention that they could have in fact come out FOR Qaddafi, we don't really know.

WRT the "humanitarian crisis".... 1) at least for now, it remains mostly a political straw man. 2) that said, yes, you can't have a revolution, a civil war, without bloodshed.

And 3) there is not much doubt that victorious "rebels" will want to "punish" the pro-Qaddafi loyalists, his former public employees, etc. Should we then go and bomb the "rebels" - or should we ignore that new "humanitarian crisis"?
