The Arab League has no business in Libya either, or at least they have as much business as NATO. The League first and foremost must observe their members nations sovereignty.
It would be no different than if the US got involved. At this point if the AL did get involved the US would be forced to as well just for the politics of the matter.
I'm afraid Khadafy so far is within every right to uphold the law of his land and the global community can just sit and watch.
If your reasoning is that simply because of geography and the consequences within that the AL are qualified to be involved in Libya without Khadafy breaking international accord then the US and UN have every right to enter Iran at any point in time or Saudi Arabia; simply because we are on the same planet.

Gadaffi has no right to murder his own citizens. It is probable that his actions so far constitute crimes against humanity.
If this devolves into a simple civil war then the international community probably should not intervene militarily, only logistically. However if Gadaffi continues along the route he currently seems to be taking - attacks against civilians - then the international community has a responsibility to act. Countries sitting idly by and allowing genocides to happen because it's too messy to get involved is hopefully a thing of the past.

Actually he has every right, the rulers second job is to protect the citizens the first is to protect the Nation. Again it's easy to say something could be something that it isn't.

In other words he has no right. The nation wants him gone the majority of the people want him gone. The foreign Governments that support his nation are undecided but many want him gone. His own Government is falling apart wanting him gone. Sanctions are being impossed that can only hurt the nation.
Its his job to protect the nation and killing his unarmed civilians is not going to accomplish that. The only thing he can do to protect his nation is to step down. Rath is right if he doesn't step down and the rebels fail to unify and conquer him. Then the nation of Libya could become a failed state like Somalia and that is not in the best interest of the country or its people.
Gaddafi needs to put his country before himself!

As long as you can understand that that is how you want it to be your absolutely correct.
The only way you would be correct in reality is if his private Army or some political force coup's. The people's uprising has not gone beyond unrest only because they have not labeled Khadafy as an invading entity nor have they supplemented that kind of declaration with crafted borders and begun annexing Khadafy's land in turn saying otherwise would be mocking the English lexicon.
