Proxy War Already On

Arab League backs action against Syrian government

As long as they don't have to do it themselves.

"Arab states on Sunday urged the international community to take action against the Syrian government over a chemical gas attack that killed hundreds of civilians.

The final resolution passed by an Arab League meeting in Cairo urged the United Nations and international community to “take the deterrent and necessary measures against the culprits of this crime that the Syrian regime bears responsibility for.”"

"The League foreign ministers also said those responsible for the attack should face trial, as other “war criminals” have.

Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal said condemnation of Syria over the poison gas attack, which U.S. officials say killed 1,429 people, was not enough.

He said opposing international action on the grounds that it was “foreign intervention” was no longer acceptable.

“Any opposition to any international action would only encourage Damascus to move forward with committing its crimes and using all weapons of mass destruction,” said Faisal."

Iran is salivating at the possibilities. Or is that "shaking in their boots", trying to pretend they are invincible.

France is all bluster and bravado, but is Hollande willing to eat anything but cheese? They sat out Iraq, which had also used WMD on her own people, but then Iraq was Britain's former colony, not France's.
