The Arab league pushed for western involvement, now criticizes western involvement.

Qatar and the United Arab Emirates have planes involved in the no fly zone.

Saudi Arabia is a religious police state. The Saud family plays a balancing act between Wahhabism they let on the loose in Saudi Arabia decades ago and the mercenary fact that there is money to be made selling oil to the US. They keep a tight grip on the populace, but that doesn't mean there won't be a fundamentalist uprising in Saudi Arabia.
