I'm just curious on something..and I'm only half sarcastic about this..but we're constantly bombarded recently by stories of horrible brutality by the armed forces of Syria and it's made to sound like their whole nation is on fire and sitting on the brink of internal collapse. Then, just occasionally, an OP like this will come along to at least put things back into perspective and show the VAST MAJORITY of the unrest in Syria is isolated to one city/town with a few other hot spots that flare up or die down as time marches on.

So.. I do wonder... Are the people in Homs just sitting around roasting marshmellows and weenies on the campfire while singing Kumbaya as the Syrian forces come in shooting? Or...might there really be *TWO* sides to the fight here? I wouldn't know..it seems..as the media never even suggests the IDEA of a two sided fight and the concept that it isn't purely a slaughter of women and children for pure amusement.

Perhaps....just maybe..there is a hell of a lot more to this story than media deems we need to know. They don't want to confuse us with facts which may contradict their clean version of what we're supposed to think and feel, afte rall.

This world needs help big time. I think it is funny how al-Assad says it's armed gang members he's killing. That is obviously flase because these are INNOCENT protestors just getting thier voice out there and dying for it. Syrians would rather die then deal with this regime any longer...Sad it even had to come to that point.

I know, it does make you wonder. Why? Why would they just came rallying in and start shooting? Someone is clashing with them. Bout time they fight back...
