动气手来这么狠，没有自我约束力，仇恨这么深，分歧这么大。
中国，南美，澳洲和北美是不怕核弹飞过来，但是欧洲也不愿意有两把上趟的枪
对准他们，万一走火，一把枪的主人会完全不认账。
你去问个中东穆斯林，多半的回答是：伊斯兰教是完全和平的宗教，这些人是反对
先知的教义的。但是打起来跟伊斯兰教无关。那么欧洲希望的安全保证呢？没有担保人。
他们自己也无法控制自己人。
Crackdown Toll Seen as Syrians Bury Hundreds
DARAYA, Syria — Mass burials in this Damascus suburb on Sunday showed the
carnage of the past few days in gruesome detail: scores of bodies lined up
on top of one another in long, thin graves moist with mud.

In what is unfolding as one of the deadliest and focused short-term assaults
by the Syrian military since the uprising started nearly 18 months ago,
witnesses and activist groups say hundreds have been killed in Daraya in the
past week alone. Residents described how the Syrian Army first closed off
the city, keeping civilians from fleeing, then methodically began a campaign
of heavy shelling and house-to-house searches ending with executions.
A video of what activists described as the fifth and latest mass grave to be
filled showed two small children near the edge. Up close, in the field
where there were more bodies than people to wash and prepare them for burial
, the scent of decay swirled and gunshot wounds could be seen in the heads
of many men.
“The Assad forces killed them in cold blood,” said Abu Ahmad, 40, a
resident of Daraya, where the Syrian government has waged a campaign it
described as a “cleansing.” “I saw dozens of dead people, killed by the
knives at the end of Kalashnikovs, or by gunfire. The regime finished off
whole families, a father, mother and their children. They just killed them
without any pretext.”
Even as many of the details are still difficult to verify or determine —
the exact number killed, how many were executed or died from shelling —
evidence of what activists described as a massacre continues to mount.
The death toll, rising all week, grew again on Sunday. A day after two
activist networks, the Local Coordination Committees and the Syrian
Observatory for Human Rights, said that more than 200 bodies had been found
in the town, activists said another 15 bodies were discovered in the
basement of a home in the area. That put the death toll for the week at more
than 630 in the city, said the Local Coordination Committees, including
nearly 300 people reported executed.
“Daraya, a city of dignity, has paid a heavy price for demanding freedom,”
the group said in a statement, adding: “The death toll has doubled in the
past few days due to field executions and revenge killings.”
Activists posted a video of what they said was the latest find. It showed a
pile of bodies in the corner of a basement of what appeared to be a large
home. Pools of blood darkened the gray concrete floor beneath a tangle of
bodies. Several others — including a man with what clearly appeared to be a
gunshot wound to the head — were splayed out behind nearby walls.
Two other videos posted Saturday showed corpses lined up as well, with
activists declaring that the largest discovery occurred late Saturday night
in the basement of a mosque. The Local Coordination Committees said about
150 bodies had been discovered there. Most were men killed in executions,
activists said, though they also noted that among the dead found all over
the city, there were also several women and children.
At the grave site, the bodies of a few children could be seen, but it was
unclear whether women were buried there, as well.
Daraya, a city of several hundred thousand residents, has been reported as a
mainstay of opposition support within the capital area since the start of
the uprising. Its location is also critical: it abuts the Mezze military
airport, a major base for Syrian forces. There are farms on the fringe of
town, and small furniture factories dominate the city center.
When the government assault started, activists said that rebels had
established a large armory inside the city. They said it had been rumored to
hold missiles, a detail that could not be confirmed, perhaps to target
helicopters at the Mezze airport.
The government operation began early last week. Troops first surrounded
Daraya and set up checkpoints, blocking food and other supplies from
entering, residents said. The electricity was cut, then the Internet and
phone service. |
