Things getting ugly in Syria

Human rights monitors say that dozens of people were arrested as secret police raided homes near Damascus.  They claim they got rid of emergency law, but obviously they didn't if they go fish people out of their homes.

Two Syrian legislators resigned their posts in parliament as outrage grows over the killings of innocent protestors. Many outside Syria are saying it's not enough to condemn the violence of the government forces. Now that they are told to "shoot to kill" protesters, the international community have to impose sanctions. No one really wants to get involved with imposing anything on Syria so it will be interesting to watch and see how things play out.

In another part of the Middle-East, it seems that the GCC have managed to get Saleh to agree to leave Yemen in a month. However that does not completely make the people of Yemen happy. Saleh gets to leave and no sanctions will be imposed on him or his lackey's. I think we need to sit and watch this one out. Besides who will they replace him with? Someone who rules exactly the same way and oppresses the Yemeni's just as much? 

I haven't been talking about Libya because there seems no end in sight. For every progress the rebels make, government forces make as well. Don't know how this will end sadly. Gadafi really doesn't want out.
