It makes sense that they won't allow their own skin to be ravaged (United States, Britain, Germany, France etc), but why not the Baltics and Poland, at this point?

I'm surprised they haven't done so, after these long months

Then what part of the defensive pact did Libya violate to get a reprisal by NATO?

NATO didn't send troops. Infact if you look at who supports who in the civil war, there are NATO members on both sides

Just to clarify, you are talking of the first civil war, right? Also, they may have not sent ground troops, but they certainly sent air support, through no fly zone and aerial bombings of the country.
