Neighboring countries? How about a little pressure from our European friends who get some from there?
I dont dispute that our chicken hawk allies in NATO should do more.

Today, command of control of the No Fly Zone is a NATO operation. The naval blockade, with ships from 10-15 NATO allies including Turkey, is under NATO command and control

How many ships has Turkey provided? What is the strength of their naval power? How many airplanes has Qutar contributed? What is the effect of their contribution?

Turkey's contribution to the naval blockade and Qatar's to the No Fly Zone, or at least Qatar's recognition of the rebels and the Transitional National Council as the sole legitimate authority in the country are symbolic and serve an important geo-political function, rather than a military function.

Nice dance.

No different than when we went into Iraq.
