U.N. Security Council Urged Not to Repeat Earlier Failure to Respond to Syrian Bloodshed

(CNSNews.com) – When then Syrian President Hafez Assad 19 years ago oversaw the killing of tens of thousands of people in Hama, the U.N. Security Council was silent. As the death toll in the 2011 uprising against his son’s rule continues to climb, and with fresh bloodshed in Hama this week, there are mounting calls for the top U.N. body not to repeat that failure to respond.

But, as the government crackdown entered its 21st week, the Security Council Monday night remained unable to overcome the differences that have prevented it from passing a resolution – or even the far weaker option of a presidential statement – critical of the Syrian regime.

Scores of Syrians were killed in Hama in a renewed assault by security forces on Sunday and Monday, the latest fatalities adding to what human rights monitoring groups say is a toll now exceeding 1,600.

Ok, so you post and post incomplete articles and never respond to anyone? do I have that right? If only I would go to your website all would be well.

Watch this closely to see if Russia, China and other SC members abstain from vetoing and allow the US and Europe to wade into another illegal quagmire war.

In the long run, US citizens and military will face charges in International Courts for these actions.
