TW - it's hard to see their reversal as more than political pandering to their own populace. They want Kadafi gone, but they also know there is political capital to be gained at home by being "anti-western".
The courageous act would be to stand up and say "The arab world and the west hold the value of human life in common, and we act together to protect that value. This is a model of cooperation to be respected" even if there is a political cost to that action.
