The Lion tamer

As the death toll rises in Syria the United Nations  top human rights body has finally after a 26-9 vote "unequivocally condemns the use of lethal violence" by Syrian authorities against peaceful demonstrators paving the way for a full investigation by the United Nations and hopefully the International Criminal Court.
Assad, which means lion in Arabic is getting the taste for blood. He has to be made accountable for the crimes against humanity he is inflicting on the good people of Syria as well as those he committed on the good people of Lebanon.
With Gaddafi apparently loosing one son and three grandchildren in a NATO air strike he may finally feel the pain he has inflicted on others.
True to form was the Israeli knee-jerk reaction to the two Palestinian factions making up by suspending tax payments due to them. This continued intransigence is so puerile and short sighted and the Israeli government is so concerned  at the changing dynamics in the Middle East, and that America's adversaries may miscalculate U.S. intentions that it is privately urging Washington to make it clear that the U.S. would intervene in Saudi Arabia should the survival of that government be threatened.
The continued hypocritical approach taken by World Powers as how to deal with the legitimate desires and aspirations of the Arabs for freedom both economical and political, must surely be reexamined in the context of the new realities.
Human dignity and the value of the rule of law must take precedence over purely commercial considerations to ensure long term stability.
As the circus continues, where is that Lion Tamer?
