Britain's tough sanctions against Syria

From the BBC:

The Foreign Office says the invitation for the Syrian ambassador in London has been withdrawn following reports that up to 400 pro-democracy protesters have been killed in Syria by security forces in recent weeks.

A Foreign Office statement said: "Buckingham Palace shares the view of the Foreign Office that it is not considered appropriate for the Syrian ambassador to attend the wedding."

Bashir Assad must be quaking in his boots in the face of such strong Western opposition to his murdering hundreds of civilians.
