Thousands of Syrian troops backed by armor opened fire in the resort town of Zabadani on the border with Lebanon on Sunday, a day after heavy fighting in the area between army defectors and loyalist forces, residents and activists said.

Armored vehicles fired machineguns and anti-aircraft guns as they entered the town, in the foothills of the Anti Lebanon Mountains, 35 km (22 miles) west of Damascus.

When Syria opposition organizes under a Muslim banner, then the King President will get involved. Right now, it is the non-Muslims (Assyrians) and the non-Sharia law Muslims getting slaughtered. That is okay.

Kurds, too, who are only pretending to want self-determination. What they really want is...is...something other than the destruction of Israel. Whatever. Not interested. Change channel.
