Over 140 people have been reported dead as Syria’s ruthless ruling party launched another assault on protesters, the latest massacre since demonstrations began in March.
Yesterday, President Obama issued a statement on the situation in Syria.
“I am appalled by the Syrian government’s use of violence and brutality against its own people,” the president said. “The reports out of Hama are horrifying and demonstrate the true character of the Syrian regime. Once again, President Assad has shown that he is completely incapable and unwilling to respond to the legitimate grievances of the Syrian people.”
As well, the United Nations Security Council has called a meeting to discuss the escalating and appalling situation in Syria.
What… do those meatheads in charge of Syria think they can kill their way to peace? Or do they just not care, thinking the people are like misbehaving children in need of a lesson? Either way, it’s a disgrace to humankind.
Well, the actions of the ruling party and the military are shameful, anyway. But the brave protesters willing to stand in front of bullets and bombs for freedom – they epitomize the human spirit.
Stay strong, freedom fighters!
