Syrians to take to the streets to protest Russia's vote against U.N. resolution

Tens of thousands of people are expected to take to the streets across Syria on Friday to protest Russia and its recent vote against a United Nations resolution that would have condemned a brutal crackdown by President Bashar al-Assad.

The "Russia Is Killing Our Children" protest, organized by anti-government opposition groups, follows opposition reports that troops in tanks stormed a suburb of the besieged city of Homs. Syria's third-largest city has become a flashpoint in the nearly yearlong uprising.

The mass anti-government protest comes the same day state-run Syrian TV accused terrorists of two explosions Friday that rocked Aleppo, a city considered one of al-Assad's seats of power.

    Let us please not make the comparison that Assad is even close to Hitler. And for all of you that are so ready for the US to get involved here and magically take out Assad somehow, please remember that we the US did sit around and do nothing during WWII for years! In fact, we only entered the war after Japan attacked us.
