‘Syrian Uprising Seems Near Violence’
28th September 2011
Couple of thousand demonstrators dead? Yeah, that sorta looks like ‘near violence’ to me.
Once-peaceful Syrian protesters are increasingly taking up arms to fight a six-month military crackdown, frustrated that President Bashar Assad remains in control while more than 2,700 demonstrators are dead, analysts and witnesses say.
Guess this Kumbaya-hippie-peace-love-dope process doesn’t work against a government that isn’t a Craven Western Government. Gonna have to do this the old-fashioned way.
The growing signs of armed resistance may accelerate the cycle of violence gripping the country by giving the government a pretext to use even greater firepower against its opponents.
Yeah, looks as if they really need a pretext to take it to the next level. Although it’s not clear what that ‘greater firepower’ might mean….
Authorities already have used tanks, snipers and mafialike gunmen known as “shabiha” who operate as hired guns for the regime.
What’s left? Nuclear weapons?
I can’t believe that people get paid for writing this stuff. I’m in the wrong line of work, obviously.
