How Sad.... How Awful..... Why are the rebels shelling damascus? Just because women and children are being massacred by the resistance, Iran, Russia and the USA does not give the rebels the right to shell the old city of Damascus with its world renowned heritage sites and shia shrines. I am starting to believe the world has lost its conscience.

The thing is that most of the people killed in the rocket fire, were Sunnis themselves living in Assad controlled areas.

Yet you claim he is the one that makes ethnic cleansing.
When it is the Salafis that does the killing.

So how is Assad making ethnic cleansing, when the salafis he fights shoots rockets on the areas under his control with sunni population?
