The regime of Syrian President Bashar Al Assad is becoming increasingly isolated.  Eight months into the Syrian uprising, with estimates of more than 3,500 people killed, the Arab League voted to suspend Syria's membership in the organization.  Bob speaks with Foreign Policy blogger Marc Lynch, who says the idea that Assad would lose legitimacy among fellow Arab leaders for killing his own people may seem obvious, but it is actually a revolutionary shift in the regional mentality.

  This article gives kudos to Al Jezzera.

   It does seem true that Al Jezzzera is necessacery to the "Arab spring" and any possibility it has for a positive outcome.

     I didn't notice any Kudo for President Bush nor even for his son President Bush. Were they unhelpfull to the "Arab Spring"?


They do mention that when President Bush invaded Iraq no Arab government was highly supportive, but that now there are widespread calls for foreighn intervention.
