I refuse to call it a resolution against Syria because I’m not unfamiliar with similar moments when resolutions were being made against Saddam’s regime and it hurt when we would hear the words "against Iraq". Neither Saddam nor Assad represented their peoples and even if the UN failed to recognize this fact, this doesn’t change the fact that that such regimes are totally illegitimate and they don’t deserve the seats they occupy in the UN’s halls because they merely represent their families or the murderous cults they call political parties.
This is the man that our enemies call "collaborator" and our own loyal opposition dismisses as "stooge" when they pay him any mind at all. He can either be the future of his saddened land or a footnote amid the darkness. It all depends on whether we want to hate ourselves more than we hate our foes.
And how long will we allow the Assad regime to pass the pain of resolutions and sanctions to the Syrian people before we decide to find out whether men like Mohammed are to be found in that land as well?
