Public spat mars Arab summit

(BBC News) — A public slanging match between the Libyan and Saudi leaders dominated the Arab League summit on Iraq.

The de factor ruler of Saudi Arabia, Prince Abdullah Bin Abdel Aziz, stormed out of the meeting after Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi berated him for seeking US protection in the 1991 Gulf War.

A small taste of the regional problems that the U.S. led war on Iraq will create unless they have the backing of the United Nations. My thoughts are that this consideration is not exactly high on their list of things to worry about though, a fractured Middle East may provide them with more opportunities than a united one.
