256 of them (all programmers will know why that number stuck in my mind). Some of them sexually, some of them to death. The UN Human Rights Council deputized a panel of human rights experts, headed by Brazilian Paulo Sergio Pinheiro. This panel interviewed witnesses, and documented crimes against humanity, and has information that accuses the highest authorities in the Syrian government of complicity in ordering indiscriminate shooting into crowds of protesters, snipers to target the heads and upper bodies of protesters, and the shooting of a 2-year-old girl.
This in addition to sanctions leveled on Sunday by the Arab League against Syria, after they were assured that if they did not take quick and harsh action, NATO would intervene and the case would be taken to the Security Council.
3,500 people have died so far in Syria, more than any other country affected by the "Arab Spring" except Libya, and the casualties in Libya are so far not counted.
This Free Press article is pretty good.

If anything, it seems to me the Syrian regime has got away with more than Lybya before the intervention...

Brutal secular dictatorship, or brutal Islamic dictatorship. Decisions, decisions...........
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

They're only brown people, though, right, Tyr? So it's no biggie.
Hey, here's a brand-new idea: what if they actually get to vote for their government?

What if they vote for what amounts to an Islamic dictatorship? Would that surprise you? It wouldn't surprise me.

Not sure, but I have a feeling from bits and pieces I've read that the size and intensity of the Islamic fundamentalist groups in Syria is less than in many other Arab countries.Tyrannical wrote:What if they vote for what amounts to an Islamic dictatorship?

Just sayin'.
And what business is it of yours, anyway? We voted for what amounted to a Dominionist fundamentalist dictatorship twice.
