Arab League sanctions for Syria

Hopefully this is just the beginning of far more serious measures.

If so then about time.

Personally I doubt it'll make all that much difference.

The Arab League has voted to suspend Syria from its meetings and impose sanctions against Damascus over its failure to end a government crackdown on protesters.
It asked member states to withdraw their ambassadors, and urged Damascus to end violence against protesters.
The vote came after Syria ignored an Arab League proposal envisaging the start of dialogue with the opposition.

Syria is too far gone down that road to come back now. It won't do a thing.

Is that the best they can do?

Arab League....League of Nations. I think in international circles, the term 'league' has pretty much become synonymous for toothless debating society.

I don't know if it's the pose or the podium, but I think Cameron may have missed his calling as a game show host.

Very bad dictator, and the basis of the law as set out in the constitution shall be sharia.
