Reflections:
Syrian president has fired his cabinet members and and governors and promised citizenship for the minority but that is not enough. The Syrian people want the president to step down. The prime ministers political tactics have failed and tens of thousand fill the streets to protest against him. Also for the first time a large group of people protested on Friday in Aleppo the nations second largest city. In the city of Dara armed forces have killed 22 and wounded hundreds and as described by a human rights lawyer "its another bloody day in Syria".State run media say there was violence in Dara but blamed it on the vandals, the activist estimate more than 130 dead people while the Syrian officials say the death toll is no more than 30.
I personally feel that the easiest way to resolve this issue is for Assad to step down. He came in power trying to improve the economy of Syria and that has not gone too well. He has tried no one is to say that he didn't but he has failed and now should let someone else try. Also under Assad rule there has been no political freedom.
This affects us Canadians by showing us how lucky we are. They cannot express their political freedom and here in Canada we take it for granted, also the fact that this situation doesn't worse and become the same as the one in Libya. Everyone should try to end this quickly and make sure no more blood is being spilt.
I don't believe our media seems to faovour anyone. They are showing what Assad tried to do and it was a good idea but he had failed and now is causing useless bloodshed. The states facts like what the people want and what the government isn't giving. our media gives us the whole picture.
