"The Arab League....finally (acted). On Saturday, it gave Damascus until Wednesday to end the violence or have its membership suspended. The killing has worsened." Giving Assad a three-day reprieve, League members "offer(ed) to send monitors to determine if the government was abiding by a league-brokered peace plan to end the crackdown.""He isn't. Another three days of enabling will only ensure that more Syrians will die. The League needs (to) suspend Syria (and) impose muscular penalties for Assad's brutality."
Fact check
League members include mostly pro-Western despots. Supporting imperial lawlessness, they condoned (and for some participated in) Libya's ravaging, including massacres too great to ignore.
They're silent on NATO's plan to colonize, occupy and plunder another Arab State, as well as ongoing atrocities in Bahrain, Yemen, Somalia, Palestine, elsewhere in the region, and internally against their own people.
Since March, they supported Western-backed anti-Syrian insurgents. Regional instability followed. Regime change is planned, including perhaps war and occupation.
Washington wants conflict, not peace. Syria was peaceful until America and regional allies intervened. Arab League figures broker nothing. They do what they're told and obey.
Rogue League regimes govern oppressively. Despite being authoritarian, Syria's the only remaining independent, anti-imperial, secular Arab state. Washington wants it replaced by pro-Western extremist elements, similar to Libya's model.
"....Russia and China have blocked the United Nations Security Council from imposing sanctions or even issuing a full-throated condemnation of Mr. Assad's bloody reign....The Council should refer Mr. Assad and his henchmen to the International Criminal Court for prosecution for crimes against humanity."
