When will the Syrian people get the help and support they need from the World community? Over 6,000 people have died since the uprising. For months Syrians wake up to al-Assad’s barrage of bombings and sniper fire. Assad’s armies of killers continue to bombard the protest city of Homs killing more than 137 civilians in a “horrific massacre,” activists said today.

It is despicable that despite the daily bombardment, and the thousands of deaths, Russia and China continue to oppose a resolution that can be used to justify foreign military intervention, calls for Assad to quit, or to impose an arms embargo on Syria. Russia and China are standing in the way while Syrians are massacred to protect their own selfish self interest... China and Russia have blood on their hands. Killing and abusing people, stripping them of freedom, human and civil rights is not policy foreign to either one of these countries. ''The draft does not suit us at all and I hope that it is not put to a vote,'' Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.

President Barack Obama accused the Syrian government of murdering civilians in an “unspeakable assault” and demanded that Assad step down. “Assad must halt his campaign of killing and crimes against his own people now.  He must step aside and allow a democratic transition to proceed immediately,” Obama said in a statement.

Peace.
