The Arab League-backed effort to convince the UN to formally condemn Syria and endorse a plan which would demand Bashar Assad leave office is continuing to be pushed by NATO and others in the UN Security Council, with at least 10 votes said to be secured. This is theoretically enough to pass, but Russia is expected to veto the resolution, unless the wording is clarified to avoid any calls for military action.
At the same time, Russia is pushing an effort of their own to settle the incipient civil war in Syria, calling for talks in Moscow between Syrian officials and some of the opposition leaders. Syria’s government has reportedly already agreed to this plan.
At least one of the opposition factions, however, is rejecting the call for talks. A top member of the Syrian National Council (SNC) insisted that his group rejects the notion of talks on general principle. So far there is no word if any other factions, like the Free Syrian Army (FSA), might take part.
Russia has expressed concern that any vague wordings in a UN resolution could be used by NATO for another Libya-style regime change. With some Arab League members, notably Saudi Arabia and Qatar, openly advocating a military invasion of Syria, it seems hard to deny the possibility.
Th tyrants in the region are the Saudis, the UAE and Kings of Jordan. Why no one asking for their removal, these regimes are as brutal as any other regime in the region if not 100 times more then Assad regime is, why US and EU are after Assad but not the real tyrants. This goes back to when Bill Clinton with Paul Wolfowitz, Madeline Albright and Tony Blair of English Labor party and then the Swedish Social democrats and rest of the EU gang of mafiosi sow the opportunity to becoming a helping hand in growing NATO militarism regime both in Europe and in USA, think about it people your freedom is no longer a free if you don't obey the rule of militarized US and EU. All that talk about democracy is nothing but BS, the democracy and its principals has been the hostage to those who call themselves democrat. Kerry, Boxer, Fienstine, Pelosi, Rockefeller and others are just an example.
Remember, this exact sequence happened at the beginning of the Iraq war. There was a long debate in the Sec Council about the language of a UN resolution. Russia and China both refused to agree to the warlike resolution. They thought they had the language defined and safe enough to avoid it legitimizing a war when they finally agreed to it. Then, the US and Britain almost immediately turned around and claimed this language as the justification for their illegal attack on Iraq anyways.
I will believe in the United Nations when it enforces its rule on Israel. It appears that the Untied Nations is a little bit too much on one side. It lost any image of honest broker when it chief was a cheerlead for the attacks in Libya. Libya was a member of the United Nations and part of that membership is the belief that the world will come and help any member that was attacked. Instead the United Nation did the unthinkable which was cheer the attackers. Who actually believes that the United Nations is anything but the problem in the middle east.
How can one call murdering terrorists sent, paid and armed by foreigners like Qatar, Saudis and USA "free Syrian army"? Now I understand what the US killers mean with "war on terror": Why antiwar does not make this clear?

For those of the liberal mindset, it is far easier to imagine that the Syrian "rebels" are fighting for freedom from a cruel and despotic tyrant. Hollywood couldn't have written that "narrative" any better than the Mossad, State Department and the CIA have. Reality, however, is much messier than that, and those of us who bother to try to get a realistic pulse of what's happening in Syria know full well that Assad is the victim of an ongoing effort at regime-change. That the Egyptians can on the one hand uncover evidence of this process, and receive due attention from some Westerners, while the Syrians on the other hand are left to suffer in silence under FedGov and Zionist aggression, is a situation that leaves me shaking my head.
Tomofsnj, I agree with you on enforcement of UN rules on Israel. On Libya, you forget that it's government -> Gadhaffi, was attacking and killing it's own people. Therefore it has lost it's legitimacy in international view. The so-called attackers are the people of Libya themself, liberating it from the claws of madmen dictator.
Who said that Gadhaffi was attacking its own people? If you quote the western press, save the effort because they are pathological liers.
killing it's own people'
I did not know Gadhaffi was from Israel. It was Israel and its poodle the USA who paid for the rebels. One Israel company was the employer for most of the rebels and they were not recruited in Libya. As a matter of fact one of the major problems for the new government is the "rebels" have some how suddenly must have taken up that sex game which denies air the the brain because so many have been found hanged. It would appear the locals really did not like the rebles. Did you know if you get married and were one of Gadhaffis citizens they gave you a house. If you wanted to go to school they provided education. In the USA if you want a job they will allow you to join the marines and send the next 20 years fighing wars for Israel while the rich people of Israel exploit the nations that the USA has destroyed.
Saudi Arabia and Qatar are puppets to the regime in control of America. They have no problem selling their souls to the US's plan to make "black gold" the commodity to back the dollar. Countries that have a little pride and want to have a choice as to who they sell oil to are targeted to have regimes in them that play puppet to the US's plan must be replaced. Iran and Syria are the immediate challenge, Thesis, a stable country: Anti-thesis, a country in political turmoil: Synthesis, the type of government that evolves. That's the way the game is played. Iraq and Libya are in the synthesis stage while Syria, Iran, Nigeria, Russia, China and a host of other countries are in the anti-thesis stage. The weapon of this war is propaganda resulting to shooting if necessary. America ranks 47th when it comes to freedom of information. Political decisions are made by reaction, not action. The people function like Pavlov's dog or a union, "when I blowa da whis, everybody offa the dock".
Syria rebels? What rebels? There are no rebels in Syria, we smart uns know that they're paid by the CIA/MOSSAD/M-16/WALL STREET, etc. Besides, who in their right mind would rebel against a guy as swell and benevolent as Assad?
Overrated!
Look, all these wars are calculated wars, orchestrated dictated by US – EU to Saudis and UAE therefore they are rushing it to UN because of time limitations that they have agreed upon, a time that they been calculating for removal of any regime in question and it's not to be more then a year. Look if they truly were able to start the Iran war then they would have giving it a year to finish the war then they would have started it by now, Libya and its situation were difference because of lying NATO, US and EU governments, Libyan government always were looking for a political solution rather to fight its people. Syria however is not Iran nor is Libya and it will have the upper hand against the Saudis and UAE and Turkey illegitimate terrorism. Everyone knows that if Syria going to be lost in the hands of these bandits then the entire region will be in hand of Israel and they will have an upper hand on everything and everyone in the region dealing with a weaker government and a ruined country. Hillary Clinton she knows that, therefore she wants a quick fix without having another Iraq on their hand.
