Syria is burning

I havent blogged about the Arab revolts in a while now.

That isnt because its all over or sorted though.

The current big place of action is Syria - tension has been simmering for the past year and thousands have been killed.

Now it seems that Assad Junior is preparing to go the whole hog like his father with a ground assault on the city of Homs which could leave many more dead and injured.

There have been calls for resolutions from major western powers which have been vetoes by China and Russia - the latter claiming that the former are stoking the unrest.

It is a complicated situation where the government forces are clearly in the wrong, and it seems like it will only get worse.

it's like de javu... rebel groups suddenly in possession of a huge number of arms and big in numbers and civilians getting caught in the midst of it all.

i guess we won't really know what's going on though.

looks like Libya all over again

Gaddafi had to go the moment he decided that killing his people was the thing to do.

Same here.

People are getting killed by the regime and that is not something anyone can dispute. There is video of it happening and its not all from western sources.
