Peaceful protest leader in Syria disappears; Islamist rebels suspected of role – The Washington Post.
But of course, if you believe in democracy and human rights, your enemies in this world are many, and your friends few. But we will keep forging ahead until Razan, Samirah, all our prisoners of conscience and all our people, even those who now oppose us and accuse us of terrible things, are free. There is no room for compromise when it comes to freedom.
USA Today: Syria’s Assad accused of starving civilians.
Accused!!!??? How much evidence is required to actually consider the case proved?
Suu Kyi lets us down – Telegraph.
Ours is fast becoming a world without conscience, for people like Suu Kyi were supposed to play that role. But perhaps we were wrong all along, perhaps it was the Average Joe, the one whose personal agendas were “differently” complicated, who should have been entrusted with this role.
Doctor: Syria snipers targeting pregnant women and children in “death game” – CBS News.
Let’s not mince words here, this kind of sadistic behavior comes as another indication that what’s happening in Syria is not a civil war but a genocide, a genocide that has inspired desperate resistance and has been exploited by different regional actors, and Al-Qaeda, to further their particular agendas. But it is GENOCIDE. This is what Obama is ignoring. In the age of “Never Again” and R2P and Genocide Prevention Bureaus, a genocide is unfolding and no one gives a damn. Global Order has lost its relevance, so prepare to live in a jungle.
