Oh Those Middle Eastern Dictators...

...can always be counted upon to give their people exactly what they want. After all, that's what our leftards tell us. But what are they gonna do when they're at odds with the hallowed UN?

Syrian onslaught in Homs appalls UN

"The High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay, told the UN General Assembly that Syria was launching indiscriminate attacks against civilians and accused the Syrian army of implementing a “shoot-to-kill” policy.

“The nature and scale of abuses committed by Syrian forces indicate that crimes against humanity are likely to have been committed since March 2011,” she said.

“I am particularly appalled by the ongoing onslaught on Homs,” Ms. Pillay said, noting that government forces have been using tanks, mortars and artillery in the assault on the city.

Her comments came as European powers welcomed an Arab League decision to ask the United Nations to send a joint peacekeeping force to Syria, although Moscow cautioned a ceasefire is needed before peacekeepers can be deployed."

Of course, I would have to ask, what's the point of sending "peacekeepers" in where there is no peace to keep. If anything, what's needed is a full-scale force of fully equipped warriors. But does the West have the stomach for it?

The Chief thug in Syria certainly knows how to oppress his people. But that's what they want, right? And the UN is as useless bedraggled alley cat.
