When will the madness and the violence stop?

Despite the fact that Al-Jazeera says that they have stopped their "police action" in Syria, I doubt there is much truth to it. Assad is just pretending again because today the UN meets to discuss Syria.  He's also managed a pretty tight control of what is coming out of Syria in the past couple of hours. Most of the Facebook groups I'm on to follow what's going on in Syria have been quiet this morning. No video's coming out, no news from the LCC. Doesn't mean nothing is going on. In fact the silence is troubling, it means bad things are going to happen.

An article this morning in an Arab newspaper says the regime must fall. That it will go down in history as the government who did everything it could to kill it's peaceful citizens.  The worst I heard in the past couple of days is that the Syrian forces went looking for impromptu graves in Hama to dig out the bodies and make them disappear.  Stealing the bodies of those they killed to hide this fact? To what lows will they stoop?  

Reports suggest that Iran has also sent it's thugs to help the Syrian regime crush it's people. This article talks about Iranian snipers which are used to fire on protesters. Also in this article, some of the thugs have paraded women naked to get their husbands to turn themselves in. Have they no shame????

Between the killing of people who peacefully protest, the killing of those who try to escape the violence, they shoot Syrians trying to cross into Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan, there has been so much senseless death.  All because Bashar Al-Assad and his cronies don't want to give up 41 years of power. Really as far as they are concerned the country belongs to them and not the Syrian people.

What is most tragic is the death of children. One that comes to mind happened on Monday. When the Army warmed the citizens of a part of Lakatia to leave, this particular couple left with their 2 year old daughter and a driver.  This 2 year old was cherished by her parents who tried for 8 years to conceive her. They wanted her out of harms way so left Lakatia. They shot the 2 year old in the eye at the checkpoint and when dad went to check on his baby darling, they shot him too and detained him.  Report suggests mom and driver were also injured but no one knows what happened to them.  Even more heart wrenching, the story of a child under 2 found wandering after both of her parents were killed. 

The funniest article to come out in the past couple of days is about Mubarak telling Assad to stop. Isn't that like the pot calling the kettle black? Then you have the Turkish prime minister who has compared Assad to Ghadafi! I certainly cannot tell which one is crazier. He's also been compared to Saddam Hussein too. The comparisons to Hussein were made early on in April and still are valid today.

I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that Syrians in Canada were being threatened and one Canadian man claims that because he spoke at a pro-democracy rally in Canada, two of his cousins in Syria was arrested, detained and tortured. Now the same claims are coming from Syrians in the USA.  I've been hoping that Canada sends back home the Syrian ambassador but it doesn't look like it's going to happen, nor will Canada recall it's ambassador to Syria. I personally think they should do both.

Countries that have recalled their ambassadors include Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Tunisia, Switzerland, & Italy.  When will it include Canada?
