55 قتيلا و372 جريحا في انفجارين قويين هزّا دمشق وأنان يدعو لوقف الأعمال "المشينة"

This is the price of the hands off approach of the US and the international community to the Syrian Crisis. The Assad Regime is left free to roam the country and to kill, rape, destroy and torture the Syrian population at will. Did it not think that this action would cause a reaction? Did it not think that the reation would be radical and of equal abhorrence? Does not violence breed violence and killing breed killing?
This will stop only when Assad is made to stop and he will not be made to stop until force is exercised against his regime. So Mr. Annan and the rest, do not get your moral outrage up too high at these events. Your inaction is as much a cause of this spiraling violence as anything else. By your silence you enable Assad and by enabling Assad you feed the cycle of violence into which Syria has descended.

There is a sin by action, and a sin by failing to act (un péché par omission). The leaders of the western world have blood on their hands for failing to act and help the Syrians. By defending their people, what the Syrian opposition and FSA are doing is noble; there is dignity in self defense even if it leads to loss of life and the killing the aggressor, but these bombings are terrorist acts that will hurt the opposition above all and the opposition should be the one denouncing them and opposing them vehemently. Accusing the government of stabbing itself in the back is ridiculous. These are acts of terrorists, real terrorists like Al Qaeda and its offshoots, and the opposition leaders should act like statesmen and fight them ferociously.

No according to LCC, SNC and FSA the Syrian govermant did it on purpose

1,000 kg of explosives. That is the same size as the Harriri blast. I wonder if this truck was packed in Dahye too???

We have had for years on end the bitter taste of booby trapped cars, countless deaths, thanks primarily to the criminals in power in Damascus, but more recently in Iran. They're falling to the dirty tricks they have masterminded in Lebanon and elsewhere. No pity for those criminals who have ruined our country, ignited divisions and fire at every corner, ruined the economy (the syrian pound is following suit hopefully!), forced to exile a whole generation of lebanese , destroyed coutnless lives.Let them rot in hell.They're getting chat they deserve!

Dear Sir:

The Syrian government is backed by Russia and Iran and they're sending them arms and ammunition in front of everyone's eyes. The opposition on the other hand are fighting with almost nothing. And what did the west do, America committed to sending telecom equipment, for what? So that the opposition can use them to call the US and ask for arms? No one can fight the battle for the Syrians, that's their own battle, but the opposition leaders should go to Washington and France and tell them that their stupid excuse that arms might fall in the hands of Al Qaeda is ridiculous, because the only thing that turned the war around in Iraq was the 'awakening' and the arming of the people who want to build a country. The US and the West should intervene, just like Iran and Russia are intervening, no more, no less.

Despite being against the Assad regime one can only deplore these terrorist acts that inflict casualties on civilians.
If this is not another of the regime's scams to equate the opposition with terrorism it is a start for a disastreous path where extremists take over the revolution's lead.

experts in france, months ago, predicted this kind of event. it wouldn t be the firwt time that a nation does terrorists acts to throw the blame on those they are fighting...
we ve seen that happened already during the lebanese civil war. and elsewhere. and knowing the terrorist methods of syria in lebanon it wouldn t be surprising if the regime does it to strike the public and international opinion and throw the blame on the opposition to discredit them...

It is a Syrian issue that need not become an international issue. The Syrian people who want a change needed to have the means to bring it about. Otherwise, this fight will end in one of two ways:
1) Assad prevails after having violated every rule in the book with regard to genocide and crimes against humanity making his regime more dangerous to the region, especially Lebanon; or
2) al Qaida and militant extremists crowd out all others in the Opposition and turn the uprising into a bid to turn Syria into Afghanistan.
These are the costs of non-action that no one should be willing to pay.

@sikoflebanon/anonymetexasusa/Hitech (Guest) You have all set up a false choice. The options to policy makers is not to either support the feckless Annan ceasefire or to put American boots on Syrian ground and engage in NATO bombing of Syrian urban centers. You pose the options with the exact purpose of discrediting any action being taken whatsoever.
By taking action, I mean this:
1) Funding the SNC so that it may offer salaries to Syrian Army Officers and soldiers to defect to the FSA, maybe even bringing their weapons;
2) Providing the FSA with defensive weapons such as anti-tank weapons so that it may defend the Syrian civilian population.
3) Recognize politically the SNC and hold it to its declared positions of supporting a political agenda that provides for recognizing the full rights of religious and ethnic minorities.
These are the costs of non-action that no one should be willing to pay.
