The European Union recognized the Syrian National Council

The European Union recognized the Syrian National Council as a “legitimate representative of Syrians,” the 27-nation bloc said in draft conclusions from a summit in Brussels today. ... Individual members of the EU, including the U.K., have already recognized the SNC. British Prime Minister David Cameron has said that the lack of a united opposition movement is one of the reasons why the Syrian uprising is more complicated than the situation in Libya, where Muammar Qaddafi was ousted last year with the support of an international coalition.
