DO you know what the population od Saudi Arabia. THe real reason they can’t send some troops when we can’t is that Muslim extremist would further destabilize the area if a non Arab is seen to interfer with what they see as a purely Arab affair.Answer by Harry Dunne
You’re right, the so-called “Arab League” has called for a no fly zone, but curiously has done nothing to actually perform it. Hmmmm, I’m wondering if they’re waiting for the U.N. Air Force to handle it. Oh wait! The U.N. doesn’t have an air force, they subcontract to the evil United States!
Step right up, Arab League, and do your own dirty work.
Answer by Notyme4BSThe main reason is to keep the region stable with Pro US and/or Pro democratic governments. Although the cold war is over, the US can’t have a government in the area that’s allied with Russia or China, because in a conflict that could threaten our supply of oil and also threaten our allies in Europe. We also don’t want to chance another radical leader that will sponsor world terrorism. If we don’t stabalize the area then we could have another Somalia on our hands, where you have a population of armed citizens, with no government creating anarchy in the region.Answer by Mark F
