Saudi Arabia calls for Syrian reforms - Middle East - Al Jazeera English: "Saudi Arabia's king has condemned a brutal crackdown on protests in Syria, recalling the country's ambassador to Damascus and calling on the Syrian government to implement political reforms.

'What is happening in Syria is not acceptable for Saudi Arabia,' King Abdullah said in a written statement on Monday.

'Syria should think wisely before it's too late and issue and enact reforms that are not merely promises but actual reforms,' he said. 'Either it chooses wisdom on its own or it will be pulled down into the depths of turmoil and loss.'

The Saudi monarch's comments came a day after the Gulf Co-operation Council urged Syria to 'end the bloodshed' and the Arab League, which had been silent since the uprising began, said it was 'alarmed' by the situation and called for the immediate halt of all violence."
