Part 1	We begin with Radwan Ziadeh who is an important member of the Syrian opposition and we discuss the Arab League’s imposition of sanctions on the Assad regime following the League’s recent ejection of Syria from the organization of which Syria was a founding member. As the portent of civil war looms, we discuss what actions the UN should take to stop the slaughter.
Part 2	Then we look into the latest source of tension between the US and Pakistan following a NATO airstrike that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers. Marvin Weinbaum joins us. He was the former Afghanistan and Pakistan Analyst at the Bureau of Intelligence and Research in the State Department. We discuss the growing tensions between the erstwhile allies that could get out of hand as the US tries to exit from Afghanistan.
Part 3	Then finally we have a discussion on the upcoming eviction of the “Occupy LA” encampment at City Hall, scheduled for midnight Sunday. Clark Davis, the media coordinator for “Occupy LA” joins us in the studio along with Tom Hayden, an anti-war activist and founding member of Students for a Democratic Society. We discuss what looks like an impending clash between police and protestors and how it can be avoided.
