France says it is gaining support for a UN Syria Resolution good news this
they can at least get Russia and China to the point where they will abstain, like with Libya...
I hope so. China usually abstains rather than vetos and Russia vetos less than it used to so if France can grease the diplomatic wheels enough, it's possible. It seems if you want something done politically in another country get France to do it. Want any fighting done once you get the backing let everybody else do it lol.
Ahahaha well to be fair they are fighting in Libya.
Tunisia warned Libya it would refer Tripoli to the U.N. Security Council if it continued to commit "enemy acts", Tunisian media reported on Tuesday.
As demonstrations across Yemen continued, the opposition said it sticks to the original GCC plan and nothing else, after the GCC suggested altering the deal in Saleh's favor to get him to step down. The opposition warned that if the GCC did not get Saleh to step down soon, the people will try to remove him by force as they wish to prosecute him for crimes
In Bahrain, nine policemen were injured after a protester ran over them during the police crackdown on a crowd of anti-government protesters
