52 nations to help Japan but none to Libya

Japan's home grown earth-quake team is considered as superior to everyone; why are 52 countries are falling on each other to help, when the Libyans fighting Qaddaffi are asking for external help since fifteen days?

In a way I am not surprised, this is the way the world has been working. Below is some background...

Recent massive Tsunami in Japan has drowned the urgency in Libya. Since fortnight Qaddaffi is mercilessly bombing towns occupied by rebels. These rebels are no match for air power of Qaddaffi, and every one knows about imbalance. It is a matter of days, Qaddaffi will take back these territories from rebels. Qaddaffi is ready to do anything. And what is needed is a :non-fly: zone, and international community is still thinking about it.

Points..
-UN is not acting on no-fly zone because China and Russia are opposed
-Arab-league did not agree on any action but requested UN to impose no-fly zone.
-NATO is still thinking about no-fly zone
-US wants no-fly zone to be an international effort
-UN declared Qaddiffi's actions as War-crime.
-Rebel towns of Libya were accepted as independent nation by France.
-Chinese evacuated 30K chinese workers from Libya (after crisis broke)
- Swiss froze Libyan money

Western diplomats think that imposing :no-fly: zone is an intervention. But these diplomats do defend selling arms to Qaddaffi(I heard Brit-diplomat do on BBC). EU uses oil sold by Qaddaffi, and indirectly strengthens Qaddaffi. These two facts indicate that western countries are already intervened.
