Who understands the Arab countries?

Arab countries have condemned the "aggression" against Iraq and called for the immediate withdrawal of US and British forces from the country.
The move came at a summit of Arab League foreign ministers in Cairo.

A final resolution also calls on Arab states not to participate in any military action "damaging to the unity and territorial integrity of Iraq".
The resolution was adopted unanimously except for Kuwait, which expressed reservations.

Iraq is likely to be pleased with the outcome, but it is not clear what it means in practical terms.

The League does not have executive powers to implement its resolutions, so there is no mechanism for stopping those Arab states which have US forces on their land - such as Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain - from continuing to help them.

The Arab League secretary general, Amr Musa, said the organisation would also be calling for an emergency session of the United Nations Security Council to consider demanding an end to the war.

Although public opinion in most Arab countries is strongly opposed to the American-led attack, some Arab governments are opposed, openly or in private, to Saddam Hussein.

The Iraqi Foreign Minister, Naji Sabri, was in Cairo to appeal for Arab support in resisting the American-led invasion.

Strange! Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain oppose the very same war they made possible?
