Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Deraa

Syria has opened fire on protesters as unrest spreads to Damascus and Aleppo. “Hundreds took to the streets in the cities of Homs, Hama, Tel and Latakia and in towns surrounding Deraa, with smaller protests in the major cities of Damascus and Aleppo, which are more firmly under the watch of security forces. Troops reportedly opened fire in some cases.”

In an ominous development, the BBC says Farsi-speaking armed units are being used to break up the protests by sniping at the demonstrators from rooftops.

...The US commitments in Libya will mean that Syria may not have to worry about any consequences, even in principle, beyond a State Department protest for its repression of demonstrators.
For any of us who wondered why EU bimbos/Bama are so eager to attack Libya, and why Russia/China are letting them---food for thought?
