In Aleppo, Bread Lines and Disenchantment with the FSA

 Steven Sotloff:

 'The FSA first marched into Aleppo promising to end the arbitrary arrests carried out by the regime of President Bashar al-Assad and to restore public order after months of fighting. But residents say it has proved ill-equipped to solving such seemingly simple problems as distributing bread and fuel.'

 This is what happens when a revolution is stalled. Sotloff wrote on Twitter a couple of months later:

 'If #70000 dead isn't ‪#‎redline‬ enough, whats a few dozen by‪#‎chemicalweapons‬? Not advocating anything in ‪#‎Syria‬ but after 2yrs stop tiptoeing.'
