Members Of European Parliament vote for arms embargo on Saudii

It was by a large majority too. The vote puts pressure on Saudi and is a step in the right direction. Though it doesn't compel any countries to do anything apparently, so it's more a token gesture.

Guardian article.

When it comes to the Middle East I'm beginning to develop an attitude of "Fuck 'em. Build a wall around the entire region and let them wipe each other out"

Callous, I know, but I am so sick of the continuing wars, terrorism, and general inhumanity of the region.

Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni:

"You did WHAT?  With WHO?  WHERE???"

I agree, took the right move. I also agree that it will do little to impact their ability to arm themselves.

As long as the sons of Mo have rocks, they can keep killing each other.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
