Even the Saudis recalled their ambassador from Syria:
Saudi Arabia has said it is recalling its ambassador from Damascus in protest against Syria’s deadly crackdown on anti-government demonstrators.
A statement from King Abdullah said the violence was “unacceptable” and called for it to stop before it was too late.
It came hours after the Arab League issued its first official statement, strongly condemning the violence.
On Sunday, more than 80 people died as the army launched assaults in eastern and central Syria, activists said.
Meanwhile, the American ambassador remains in Syria to "witness" the brutality, as if there are not enough Syrians to do that, as if it is not more important for the United States to send a diplomatic message of ostracizing by removing our ambassador:
TweetThe State Department welcomes the announcement by Saudi Arabia that it is recalling its ambassador from Syria, but the U.S. has no plans to do so. “This is a choice by any sovereign nation whether to recall its ambassador. It clearly sends a message to the government,” said Toner. “For our part, we’ve talked about this last week and continue to believe that Ambassador Ford is playing an important role on the ground, bearing witness to what’s going on in Syria.”
