Risking Genocide!

One Houla. Two Houlas. Three Houlas. Four Houlas… How many Houlas before you act? Over 15,000 dead and the U.S. is still talking sanctions and Russia just now considering changing Assad but not the regime! Something gotta give, before it’s too late, before a 100,000 Syrians are killed, before the country is no more.
