Syrians say they have given up on U.S. weapons promises

 "The U.S. will not supply the weapons," said Mohammed Fizo, a rebel fighter. "They come up with excuses for why they are not with the Syrian revolution; because it's not unified, or that there are terrorists. But what is important is that they are not helping us."

 I might get around later to talking about the comparison between Sarajevo and Homs (in part a feeling of hope, that Homs cannot be taken fast enough for the massacre that would entail not to be preventable), and generally the comparison between Bosnia and Syria, and how everyone has their own version of history.
