Default Arab League calls for an arab/UN peacekeeping force

Things have reached a tipping point in Syria as the government continues to murder its civilians in massive numbers.

The Arab League is asking for a joint UN/Arab League Peacekeeping force. Of course Russia and China will veto any UN Peacekeeping action.


Personally I know that Canada will offer troops and probably transportation aircraft and move one of the Frigates into the area. I'd prefer that Canada not put any boots onto the ground, Its going to be a meat grinder for any western force as they get caught between the Government on one side the Civillians on the second side and radical groups on the third side.

I'd prefer that we offer logistical support and nothing else without assurances.
