  1. Syria has been embroiled in a civil war for many many years. If Assad could just step aside.... But dictators never know when to leave.

  2. I heard on another platform that they are only allowing aid through one border crossing when there are multiple crossings available. So that move only created delays. I also heard about the switch from rescue to recovery. Just heartbreaking. A dictator who truly hates the people of Syria.

  3. Respect and tolerance never hurt anyone. You don't have to share her beliefs, I certainly don't, but nastiness only diminishes your personhood. Be nice or be quiet.

  4. Tell Assad. That's the problem with dictators, they don't listen.

  5. The Syrian govt is blocking the aid because the area most impacted is considered a "rebel" territory that doesn't support the dictatorial regime. How much longer is Assad going to torment his people? Hoping this horrible civil war ends one day. How many more years???

  6. @Robert D Of course, the USA is to blame for the earthquake? Assad is a genius with propaganda spin. Dictators have a strange skill set.

  7. Yes. Plus the region of Syria most impacted is near Aleppo. Remember what the Russians did to Aleppo? So they've been restricting access for aid vehicles through only one border crossing when there are additional border crossings that are available. So things are very slow and the Syrian people need help now, but since this is a "rebel" area and Assad is pure evil ... So so much suffering. (Meet the Press Now had some helpful detail on the situation.)
