Azmi Bishara on Foreign Intervention, Real and Imagined 

"The Syrian people’s victory is being forged in the midst of international inaction, and with the support of only Arab countries (to be exact, only one or two of them). Even that support barely covers the minimum needed to maintain their resistance, even so far as relief for a crisis-ridden people goes. All this will be remembered, however, once the tide turns and the countries of the world begin to line up to fill their pockets with the gains won by the national struggle."

Too gory to comfortably re-post, the next post of the Revolting Syrian.-------"YOU LOOK AT YOUR WINDOW AND WHAT DO YOU SEE? THREE TANKS HEADING DIRECTLY AT YOU AND FIRING. Damascus (Daraya): Jan 22, 2013 - This is not a dream and it’s not a nightmare. This is the reality of life in Syria."-------- A couple later this,-------- 'A sign from Salamiye, Hama (Syria): 
“To all of those who fear the alternative to regime, what we are seeing is the alternative to it falling.” ' --------The most recent has pictures to go with this,--------"As stated over and over and over again … in the suburbs of Damascus, it’s not a question of if you will die, but only a question of when you will die. The ‘lucky’ ones will be killed by horrific airstrikes and be crushed to death under tons of concrete in their own homes. The ‘less fortunate’ ones will see Assad’s forces burst into their homes and have their throats slit and watch their loved ones be bludgeoned to death with clubs and axes, they will watch their babies being held by Assad’s forces from their feet and swung against a wall so that their little skulls are crushed.
This is not an exaggeration. This is reality in Syria. This is every single day."
