The Arab Nations and or the rest of the world should put a bounty on Bashar al Assads head. Then maybe even the Syrian Army will take him out. He needs to be stopped from bombing civilian neighborhoods at ANY cost. This is the best idea.

60000...??? who is counting...??? only last week it was 40000... Arabs - stupidity is our affliction ... i wouldn't be surprised if tomorrow you'll report 460000... the fact is that Putin is right, the mayhem in Syria is the work of the Muslim Brotherhood... and they have tried this filth here in Jordan, we just killed them fast enough... so the cancer did not metastasized...

Assad must be hanged for what he has done to the people of Syria! The rest of the world leaders sit around commenting about the slaughter, but do nothing to stop it. 60,000 people have been killed by their own government. Where is the UN?? The UN is and always has been, worthless. The USA should demand that the UN move from this country and stop paying a cent to it.

"The conflict began with peaceful" protests in Syria, and before that with, what in Arab-islam, is a demand for strict attention to One God. Of course, the Christian method is first to lay a foundation since "vocation" [a summon to say yes to the truth when it is come across] is the divine mission rather than activism

crusade prayer (27) Prayer for Peace in the World

O My Jesus I beg for mercy
For those afflicted by terrible wars
I plead for peace to be instilled in those tortured nations
Who are blind to the truth of your existence
Please cover these nations with the power of the Holy Spirit so that they
Will stop their pursuit of power over innocent souls
Have mercy on all your countries who are powerless against the evil atrocities which cover the whole world
Amen
