In a surprise move, the Arab League suspended Syria. The suspension will take effect on November 16th.
Back in February, the Arab League suspended Libya which spurred the UN Security Council to approve a no fly zone and NATO into a military intervention which resulted in Muammar Gadhaffi being removed from power.
Could the same happen in Syria? I doubt it. If you take action against Syria, you’re taking action against Iran and I can’t see Russia and China approving any substantial measures against Syria at the Security Council.

It's ironic that the same Arab League members that are voted to suspend Syria are brutally cracking down on Shia protesters in their own countries...i.e...Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. However when it is Sunnis protesting a Shia Alawite leader in Syria (Assad) the league suspends Syria from its membership. The League is doing what Saudi Arabia wants as are the Americans and the Israelis.

The jihadists want to hurry up and get their revolution on before Obama is out of office.

In other news: "Vaxil’s groundbreaking therapeutic vaccine, developed in Israel, could keep about 90 percent of cancers from coming back."
If Jack, Sheila, and Clint would please refrain from getting immunized: thank you.

Suspended, sanctioned. And yet the death toll keeps on rising. After reading a number of posts on the web, I ask: am I the only one who finds the inaction revolting? Syria's leader reminds one of Hitler and his promises at the Munich Agreement.
It is time to act. Though this cartoon might shed light on what is going on.
