At Least 60 Dead in Syria Crackdown

Oppositition figures in Syria attempted to hold their largest rallies yet. Despite all of the posturing made by the Assad regime that it would attempt to appear more legitimate, they instead unleashed beatings and bullets.
According to the BBC, at least 60 protesters have been killed today. Meanwhile, the White House appears content to do nothing and allow for it to occur.
Protesters – said to number tens of thousands across the country – chanted for the overthrow of the regime, Reuters news agency reports.
Video images coming out of Syria show footage of many confrontations where live ammunition was used.
Where is the Obama Administration? One of our worst enemies is on the brink, and we sit back and allow slaughter? This is like June 2009 in Teheran all over again.
