Syria will allow observers in – but with conditions

Today Syria agreed to Arab League demands that it allow observers into the country, but on the condition that the group immediately drop sanctions and agree to amendments that league officials have previously rejected. Combined with sanctions from the United States, the European Union and Turkey, the Arab League’s penalties are expected to inflict significant damage on Syria’s economy and could undercut the regime’s authority.

Tony Badran, a research fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, and Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, President of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy and co founder of "Save Syria Now”, talk about the situation.
