Syria Accuses Arab League of 'Internationalizing' Crisis
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem accused the Arab League on Saturday of "internationalizing" the deadly crisis hitting the country since pro-democracy protests began more than eight months ago.
The accusation came in a letter addressed to the Arab League as ministers from the group gathered in Cairo to draw up sanctions against Syria to punish President Bashar Assad's regime for defying an ultimatum to allow in observers and pressing a deadly crackdown.
On Thursday, Arab diplomats said the League would ask the United Nations to contribute observers to an international mission that Syria is refusing to admit to the country.
In a letter released to the state-run SANA news agency, Muallem said the call by the Arab League to U.N. Secretary General Bank Ki-moon was an invitation "for foreign intervention (in Syria) instead of a call to avoid one."
"What we understand by this latest Arab League decision is a tacit green light for the internationalization of the situation in Syria and to meddle in its domestic affairs," Muallem was quoted as saying.

And rightly so. Syrian regime has been too arrogant to recognize the need for change. Their closest allies will be leaving you sooner than later...

You have asked for it. The killing machine will always learn thru force, assassination and my way or the highway methodology. History speaks for itself (i.e. Tripoli, Zahle, Knat, Baabda and more..) Harriri, Gemayel, Tueni, Kassir, Hawi and more.

the mascarade has been going on for too long and the internaltional community has given this regime too much time to keep its promises but to no avail.
the downfall of this regime is inevitable at some point in time, but not without a lot of massacres.
internally here in lebanon, this regime's allies will soon start falling one after the other especially when these thugs will start noticing this regime is no more able to support them.

This Syrian Sharon ignores the killings of more than 4000 of his people and is pussled by internatioal banning. The good news is that no one says "if" but say "when" the regime crumbles. No ruler has ever survived a genocide of his own
