The debacle of Gaddhafi’s regime after an un-exptedly long military intervention was the point of resurgence for NATO and the many Arab nations that took part. The campaign came at a time when NATO was stretched thin, and its Arab allies had never enjoyed such a reputation. As such, as is the case before every major war, no one expected them to do much. It came as a surprise when NATO leaders and regional countries like Qatar and Kuwait doled out money and men in an unprecedented campaign of military intervention, something that atleast the Arab countries were never expected to be good at. The swift end of the Qaddhafi regime was the successful completion of the testing of new, more pro-active foreign policies of the participating Arab countries.
