    The world should not stant and watch the Syrian army comit genocide and give it time to hide it. it's crimes against humanity. The least humans can do is to put pressure on Syrian government to allow independent news media to enter Syria as soon as possible to report on the atrocities. Assad is willing to do another Hama and Rawanda.

    Dear " AgainstSyrianSecurityThugs"
    First of all I think that your response and attcking me was not a civilized way of discussion, not to mention your name in which you assumed ALL personnel working as security in Syria are thugs, please dont generalize.
    I was explaining point of view about what is going on in Syria and I dont know why you took the discussion in another path in which you are asking me to get out of USA to the nearest airport.......etc.
    First I thought not to respond to your exterimst comment. I am an American living here and attached to this great nation in the last 13 years. My children are American first and we are here in America, because we are living the American dream that everyone from all around the World had.
    Let me ask you: if the same scenario took place in Italy or France or any other part of the World and Americans from Italian or french origions stated their opinions about the reality of what is going on overseas whcih are contratry to other opinions, would you also ask them to go to the nearest airports?
    Please reconsider the way you state your opinion, whcih I respect, but dont treat me like some thugs in the security forces.

    With all my respect

    Dear friends

    This is what everyone in Syria is facing. Radicals getting between free honest demonstrators asking for reform. Everyone wants end to corruption and political reform. But no one is willing to be ruled under these exterimists. Remember what happened in Algeria? google it
