Under the deal, President Bashar al-Assad had promised to withdraw all security forces and military vehicles and to stop the killing of protesters. Syria has said that it is adhering to the terms of the Arab League deal and that it has released 550 political detainees and offered amnesty to those with weapons.
Human Rights Watch (HRW) is now urging the Arab League to suspend Syria’s membership and to request that the UN Security Council call for an arms embargo and sanctions against responsible individuals. In a recently issued 63-page report, HRW accuses Syria of crimes against humanity, specifically citing the “systematic nature of abuses against civilians in Homs by Syrian government forces.” At least 587 people have been killed in Homs by government forces from mid-April to the end of August; at least 3,500 people have killed since the uprising began in the southern city of Daraa in mid-March.... more on

As Assad obviously isn't going to step down, and as he continues to kill his own people - even after agreeing to stop - then something needs to be done with this guy.
He's even lying to the Arab League. If those folks can rein him in, I don't know who can. There's nothing the US can do that we're not already doing. The US stepping in militarily is out of the question. Seems to me that Muslims killing Muslims would be a job for the Arab League. I just feel for those people.
I've seen numerous stories about how army personnel - ordered to shoot their own people are deserting instead. Good on them. Maybe is enough of them go - taking their weapons - they may end up in a full fledged rebellion. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. He not only needs to be removed - he needs to answer for what he's done. He should be turned over to the people.
