Arab League To Suspend Syria

The decision was a symbolic blow to a nation that prides itself on being a powerhouse of Arab nationalism.
Qatar Foreign Minister Hamad bin Jassim said 18 countries agreed to the suspension, which will take effect on Wednesday. Syria, Lebanon and Yemen voted against it, and Iraq abstained.
The Arab League also will introduce political and economic sanctions against Syria, he said.
Violence has continued unabated since Syria agreed on Nov. 2 to an Arab-brokered peace deal that called for the Syria to halt violence against protesters, pull tanks and armored vehicles out of cities, release political prisoners and allow journalists and rights groups into the country.

Even though this vote was taken the reality is that  Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad believes he is entitled to be President of Syria as was his father before him neither elected by a plurality of the Syrian people. One sized power by force the other just had it handed to him.  What makes Syria any different from North Korea where a family rules over a country and a populace that had no part in their assent  to power.  

No one is entitled to rule because those who came before them are of the same genetic line.  The citizens of a nation choose those who govern them not through intimidation but through the ballot box.  The Divine Right of Kings to rule ended long ago.
