Saudis Recal Ambassador from Syria

By Micah Halpern


I've Been Thinking:

According to reports, Saudi Arabia is recalling its ambassador to Syria. The first outlet to report this news was al Arabiya TV.

If the report is accurate, it could be the first step towards saving the lives of those Syrians being slaughtered by the Assad regime. If other Arab countries follow suit strong message will have been sent to Assad that he must stop the slaughter.

On Tuesday Turkey is scheduled to send their foreign minister to Syria to deliver a very strong statement telling Assad that Syria must stop killing civilians.

And on Sunday The Arab League issued a statement acknowledging that they were concerned about what was happening in Syria.

Either Assad will feel the Arab pressure and stop killing civilians and start instituting reforms or Assad will feel the pressure and simply slow down the killing and the crackdown so that he can fly under the radar which will relieve the pressure put upon him but change nothing.

Either, or. It is impossible to predict the actions of this thug.
