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.

I agree, took the right move. I also agree that it will do little to impact their ability to arm themselves.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

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.
