Very graphic content. It saddens me to think that we as humans are capable of doing something like this to our own people. Just ruthless and awful, words really fail to describe how something like this makes you feel.

Other than some statements from his Press Secretary there will be no reaction.

Ultimately, its a very tough call for us. There is no clear 'good' guy in this fight. Both the government and rebels have committed war crimes, both stand for governments we would eventually come to hate, and really, both sides probably wont like us once they enter into power. Its an incredibly tough situation diplomatically, but I think we really cant do much at this point, as awful as that feels.
