Syrian town of Rastan 'surrounded by tanks'

The rest of the middle east quickly tiring of Syria's President Bashar al-Assad and it is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore his treatment of his citizens. Syria's rebels are most likely heartened by the success seen (so far) by the rebels in Libya and are not likely to give up this fight. In my opinion, if President al-Assad does not secede his power soon, the fighting will worsen and the rest of the world, including Syria's allies, (among them Iran and Russia) will have no choice but to take some kind of action.

  1. I think that the reason many people are dying is because of the mistakes made by Syria's authority. The population will continue suffering unless the president decides to give up his power. Because of this, many people are running away in hopes of finding a better place to live.

  2. Many people need to either get away from this rule. They will continue to die if nothing happens. at this point watch out for there allies to make a move.
