re: #6 Sergey Romanov

Uh oh? Assad’s got his goons going out and ransacking embassies of those countries that supported sanctions within the Arab League. Not only is that a violation of international law, but a casus belli should the Saudis see it that way (attacking the sovereign soil of another nation).

And fact is that the Arab League basically said that its member countries should impose sanctions (but didn’t mandate it).

Assad’s actions can’t get any more transparent than that. So typical.
