Today April 1st 2011 dozens of people were slaughtered in Syria.   Hundreds of people were shot by the government of Bashar al-Assad.

“To brush aside America’s responsibility as a leader and -– more profoundly -– our responsibilities to our fellow human beings under such circumstances would have been a betrayal of who we are.  Some nations may be able to turn a blind eye to atrocities in other countries.  The United States of America is different.  And as President, I refused to wait for the images of slaughter and mass graves before taking action.” – President Barack Obama, March 28th 2011

Silence is deafening.   But Why?

Responsibility to Protect, huh ?
