Syrian Gov. Aims to Crush Rebels

The Syrian Government is working to crush the rebellion blossoming in Homs. 105 people were killed Thursday, 95 of them in Homs. The UN drafted a resolution, but Russia and China blocked it. Many members of the army are defecting and joining the rebellion, while government troops are guarding borders to make sure no weapons are given to the rebels. This seems to be a culmination of the government beating back all protests brutally, no matter how peaceful. This seems to be a situation in which the people are finally taking a stand and fighting for their rights. While war is ugly and one should never wish for it, these people need a change in government if they are being abused by the people who are supposed to protect their rights. Hopefully, this will find a more peaceful end and the situation in Syria will drastically improve.
