Syria deputy oil minister resigns to join opposition

Syria's deputy oil minister says he is resigning to join the anti-government revolt.
Abdo Hussameddin announced his defection in a video posted on YouTube.
He is the highest level political figure to abandon the government of President Bashar al-Assad since the uprising erupted a year ago.

Let us hope a few more desert the sinking ship.

Now can NATO/Arab League take this matter into their own hand and overthrow their government or as they will put it "stop human rights abuses in Syria"

He's the "wrong type" of muslim to have any effect on the situation. Sunni I believe I heard.
