Syria's Escalating Slaughter
(Washington Post) Editorial - According to opposition sources, at least 300 people were slaughtered in the Damascus suburb of Daraya last week by the Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad. The Assad regime is seeking to regain control over opposition-held areas by teaching their residents that harboring the rebels will be punished with mass murder. It's no wonder that civilians are fleeing Syria at a greater rate than ever. The U.S. would be foolish to continue standing by while allies such as Turkey and Jordan are swamped, and possibly destabilized, by Syrian refugees.
