Why
settle for one massacre a day when you can get away with many? Why stop killing
when the price will be paid by others, when your worst case scenario is a small
fiefdom of your own, when there is no accountability worthy of the name? Assad and
his cronies will keep killing, because even their worst case scenario at this stage is a win.
They might lose Syria, only to win an Assadstan.
Monday June 11, 2012
Today’s death toll: 109. The Breakdown:
36 in Idlib, 19 in Deir Ezzor, 17 in Homs, 15 in Hama, 10 in Damascus (8 in the
suburbs and 2 in Barzeh neighborhood), 6 in Lattakia, 5 in Aleppo and 1 in
Daraa.
A series of massacres against local villages perpetrated by
pro-Assad militias in Idlib Province claimed the lives of 36 people today.
Local activists in Deir Ezzor City report that a mortar round that
landed in the midst of an anti-Assad rally in Jbeileh Neighborhood around
midnight killed close to 50 protesters. More details to emerge tomorrow.
Tanks, choppers and heavy artillery continue to take part in the
pounding of communities in the rural areas of Aleppo, Idlib Hama and Homs
continues.
The airbase of Ghanto briefly help by local resistance yesterday
returned to army control today after local fighters were forced to withdraw
under heavy shelling, but not before emptying the weapons depots. Only
surface-to-air missiles used in pounding Homs City and other restive
communities were left behind.
News
Syrian activists outside the country echoed their denials. Ammar
Abdulhamid, a Syrian human rights activist based in Washington, argued that the
Vatican news agency had fallen for “the Assad propaganda machine” by relying on
the “pro-regime” Christian religious establishment for information.
Op-Eds
& Special Reports
This is one
of the canons used in the pounding of Homs City http://youtu.be/q7Kjy3A9PXU Why can’t
this be bombed from the air by our friends in the international community? It’s
out there in the open, and not too close to a residential neighborhood, and can
easily be targeted. How can western leaders watch this and do nothing?
Back when
I was in college, in an introductory social studies class, the professor told
us about a famous incident that took place in New York City sometimes in the
early 1960s: a man kills his girlfriend by stabbing her repeatedly in the chest
in a crowded street in open daylight, no one tries to stop him and no one calls
the police. How is this any different?
