Who is the Arab League?

In today's speech, President Obama said the Arab League pleaded to help the Libyan's. We at TAS do not enjoy seeing a dictator like Gahdaffi kill his citizens, but no one is asking the question, who makes up the Arab League? Where do their interests lie? Are they trying to spread democracy? Or Sharia Law?

Huh, well that list looks like a friendly group to the US.

Here is a bit of research;
In July 1958, Lebanon was threatened by a civil war between Maronite Christians and Muslims. Tensions with Egypt had escalated earlier in 1956 when pro-western President Camille Chamoun, a Christian, did not break diplomatic relations with the Western powers that attacked Egypt during the Suez Crisis, angering Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser. These tensions were further increased when Chamoun showed closeness to the Baghdad Pact. Nasser felt that the pro-western Baghdad Pact posed a threat to Arab nationalism. As a response, Egypt and Syria united into the United Arab Republic (UAR).

Operation Blue Bat
The President of the United States, Eisenhower responded by authorizing Operation Blue Bat on July 15, 1958. This was the first application of the Eisenhower Doctrine under which the U.S. announced that it would intervene to protect regimes it considered threatened by international communism. The goal of the operation was to bolster the pro-Western Lebanese government of President Camille Chamoun against internal opposition and threats from Syria and Egypt. The plan was to occupy and secure the Beirut International Airport, a few miles south of the city, then to secure the port of Beirut and approaches to the city. The operation involved approximately 14,000 men, including 8,509 Army personnel, a contingent from the 1st Airborne Battle Group, 187th Infantry from the 24th Infantry Division (based in Germany) and 5,670 officers and men of the Marine Corps. They were supported by a fleet of 70 ships and 40,000 sailors.[1] The presence of the troops successfully intimidated the opposition and the U.S. withdrew its forces on October 25, 1958.
