I had to write just one more time to congratulate president Obama on his policy regarding Syria. Today in Damascus, a suicide bomber detonated explosives just outside the Zeen al-Abadeen mosque at the conclusion of the Friday prayer service. Seven died and at least 20 were wounded. No one is sure if this was the Assad regime trying to prevent those leaving the mosque from going to demonstrations against the regime or if it was the work of anti-government forces striking against those in the security aparatus. Either Assad is now killing his foes openly in the capital or the opposition is turning to violence in a big way. No matter which is the truth, it is a bad result. But it is the result of a dishonest and incompetent American policy which has dissuaded the world from helping get rid of Assad and prolonged the killings of thousands in Syria.
Who knows? Maybe Obama can slow jam the names of all 11000 dead in the fighting so far.
