If world leaders
believe that they have the luxury to turn their collective back on Syria and wring
their collective hands, it will not be the first time people failed to see how
their own houses were vulnerable to the fire they were doing nothing to combat.
Humanity has made a habit of dancing in her own funeral. What we need today,
more than ever, is a requiem for the living for the dead are already at peace.

Death toll: 61, mostly
in Homs, Aleppo and Deir Ezzor provinces.
News
Op-Eds & Special Reports
All of the attention being devoted to such
dead-end diplomatic initiatives is simply indicative of the fundamental lack of
seriousness in Washington regarding events in Syria. President Obama may have
created an Atrocities Prevention Board, but he is doing nothing serious to
prevent the ongoing atrocities in Syria.
