Amr Moussa turns against Western military operation in Libya

Without any evidence of civilian casualties, former chairman of the Arab League, Amr Moussa, denounced the ongoing Western military operation in Libya accusing it of killing civilians.

He told Egyptian TV: “What is happening in Libya differs from the aim of imposing a no-fly zone, and what we want is the protection of civilians and not the bombardment of more civilians."

Why has Amr Moussa turned against a military operation that the Arab League had called for?

Moussa, who is running for president of Egypt, probably reasoned that by denouncing the military operation in Libya, he would bolster his pan-Arab credentials and show himself as independent from the West, an unethical act of politicking.
