Connect the dots. Arab League takes a position with the Syrian people and against Assad giving Obama a clear justification. Saudi-controlled Syrian tribes take a clear position with the Syrian people and against Assad. Panetta is in Turkey, possibly to speak about regime change. EU is racing towards sanctions. The pro-Assad vocals sound desperate.
The Good
Syria: Arab States Should Push for End to Killings. HRW. Thank you Sarah Lee Whitson. Thank you Joe Stork
The Arab League Backs the Protestors Against al-Assad. Peter Hoskin. They finally realized that if Assad survives, he will be much more dangerous than before.
The Fall of Assad Should Be an American Strategic Goal. Judith Levy. Do Middle East Intellectuals always go against simple and logical deduction just to show their unequivocal superiority?
In Syria, Assad Must Exit the Stage. Salman Shaikh. Thank you Mr. Shaikh. And thank you Brookings Institute.
EU Members to Explore ‘all options’ on Syria Sanctions. JPost. Good mobilization. Thank you EU.
Editorial: It’s Time For ‘Assad The Reformer’ To Go. More reasonable voices.
The Bad
Despite Reports of Brutality Toward Civilians, Syria to Join U.N.’s Human Rights Council. Ben Evansky. Is this a “Euros for Blind Eye” program? Thanks to Ammar Abdul Hamid, a Syrian Druze dissident, for his good comments.
The Syria Lobby. WSJ Editorial. Still hanging by the thread. Not for long though. Assad is their peace partner but not ours. If Assad survives, he is going to make his supporters look rather bad.
The Ugly
British Firm Offered Spy Software to Egypt. Eli Lake. The best way to stop western companies from selling our souls for dollars is to sue them in international courts. Gamma International, if you are reading this, please do not even attempt to sell Assad the same ware. We will hold your CEO and all the executives personally accountable for crimes against humanity.
The Tehran-Damascus Axis. Amir Taheri. All they know is how to kill and terrorize.
UGLIER THAN UGLY
Uprooted Palestinian. Tell us how this sounds: A Palestinian has a Blog in support of Assad, which means it’s OK to kill Syrians. Does that mean Syrians can now say to Israel it’s OK to kill Palestinians?
