And in a move showing massive leadership and fortitude, the Arab league . . .  gives up and calls it a day

Arab League won’t ask Assad to step down
Leaders convene in Baghdad to adopt ‘doable’ solution to Syrian crisis

Iraq’s top diplomat said Monday that Arab leaders meeting in Baghdad this week will not demand the resignation of Syrian President Bashar Assad, and that opposition forces to his regime need to agree on a single strategy for ending the crisis.

On the eve of an Arab League summit in Baghdad, Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari also said that leaders will likely agree on a “doable” solution to end the yearlong bloody conflict in Syria. He said it will be in line with earlier League proposals for Assad to peacefully transfer power to his vice president until new, open elections can be held.

. . .

Zebari also said Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir would not be arrested if he attends the summit. Al-Bashir is wanted by the International Criminal Court on genocide charges for alleged atrocities in Darfur.
