Syria seethes as protests persist

Syria smoldered Friday as anti-government demonstrators poured into the streets and the Arab League mulled an extension of its monitoring mission.

Protesters focused their attention on political prisoners and demanded the release of detainees. At least 10 people were slain in clashes Friday, according to the Local Coordination Committees of Syria, an opposition activist group.

For more than 10 months, Syria has been in the throes of an anti-government public uprising and a brutal security crackdown against protesters. The United Nations last month estimated well over 5,000 deaths since mid-March. Opposition groups estimate more than 6,000 people have died.

    Hope all is well @bobcat's world. One of my blogs posted and the censored one had the word ti tle in it. You were right! No it is not cruel to laugh you butt off at stupidity. I will always have your back. There in one individual on here who is going to get mine since he always rants about pedophilia regardless of topic.Now he has issues.

    This is ridiculous, posting this kind of nonsense in a serious blog. Someone must be playing in another's sandbox. I am officially giving you a directive to cease and desist.

    Wishful thinking here. Wouldn't it be helpful if all the reasonable and peaceloving people could step into a slaughter-proof place in that entire region while the instigators destroyed each other completely. After the vermin cleaned up the resulting mess the good genle-folk could return and live happily ever after. Any cynics could say "Get real", but what nastyness that goes around has a way of comming right back at you.
