In one of them I posted there is a Syrian who shakes the hand of a UN observer and is speaking to him so happy that they are there.
It is so sad. And it goes unreported in progressive circles. Shameful really.

I really appreciate all the Syria stuff that has been posted on DU the past few months since the news media doesn't cover it much.
