Three main acting parties are participating in the Syrian tragedy.
The regime and his stuff of cronies and henchmen; the Syrian civilians, protesters and activists winged by the military branch of the FSA and the political one of the SNC; the global community definitely not deserving the title ,united‘.
The Assad bunch is behaving stubbornly like a mafia clan without honor, trying to break the will of the uprising population to treat them after a successful crackdown like business as usual in the same disgraceful manner like Hafez began. Regime tanks are blindly shelling everything around them, private properties, appartment blocks, shops, churches, mosques. In the meantime Bashar‘s devotees are orchestrating public appearances of their idol simulating a shiny happy world around the dynastic dictator. The attempt to illuminate a millions-for-Assad-effect fails having a close look. But this regime is even this lack of PR ignoring impertinently like they ignored each and everyone since the start of the revolution. The ghosts they unleashed are committing crimes against humanity beyond imagination. The whole orchestration of the despotic ruler‘s circle is the sprinke of farce in this extremely dark chapter of the human history.
On the other side the courageous Syrians are continuingly organizing anti-regime protests all over the land risking permanently their loss of life. Helping and supporting their traumatized fellows to flee from the raided areas. Coming closer together in their struggle against the one declared enemy, the regime. Led by the LCC‘s, the local coordination committees, a new generation of cleverness and creativity, awareness and compassion. Protected by the growing number of FSA and associated brigades. Keeping a critical eye on the political efforts the different opposition parties are taking not only to appear but to act united. Seeing their family members and friends dying, shot down on the street, beaten to death during detainment, tortured until the body capitulated.
Finally, the rest of the world. Divided in many different coalitions, blocking each other, starting proxy wars ,West vs East‘ or ,Republicans vs Democrats‘, being amazed by themselves sending such incredible strong signals like a small sanction here and a watered-down resolution there. And that all on the back of the suffering Syrian people. Kofi Annan‘s last comment on the report that the regime‘s accepting his peace plan (,This is going a long difficult task‘) sounds maccabre considering the daily average of civilian martyrs.
When one day in the distant future somebody‘s analyzing the chronicles of nowadays Syria situation comparing the flow of the political decisions token with the eyewitness reports and images a certain question might raise above all:
,How could it come so far?‘
And there‘s no prognosis if a convincing answer on that will be given in the retrospective.
