Arab League Pro-Western Despots - by Stephen Lendman
On November 12, New York Times writer Neil MacFarquhaqar headlined, "Arab League Votes to Suspend Syria Over Crackdown," saying:
<blockquote>"Syria's formal suspension is to start in four days, offering what senior Arab League officials described as a last chance for Mr. Assad to carry out a peace agreement his government had accepted....to halt violence directed toward civilians (and) withdraw all security forces from civilian areas...."</blockquote>
On October 10, a Times editorial headlined, "Enabling Mr. Assad," saying:
<blockquote>"There is a lot of shame to go around after the United Nations Security Council failed last week to pass a resolution condemning Syria's brutal crackdown."</blockquote>
