Syria GEN Assasination Feb 2012. Syrian President to Send Delegation to Russia. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on Tuesday confirmed his readiness to send an official government delegation to Moscow to hold talks with the Syrian opposition, the Russian Foreign Ministry reported. Lavrov on Tuesday held talks with Assad in Damascus to seek resolution of the Syrian crisis. He also said after the talks that Assad will declare a date in the near future for a referendum on a new constitution for his country. Lavrov’s visit, together with Foreign Intelligence Service chief Mikhail Fradkov, comes three days after Russia and China vetoed a UN Security Council resolution on Syria, backed by the Arab League and Western nations, to prevent the repetition of “the Libyan scenario.”
Russia is one of Assad’s firm supporters during the uprising against his regime. Ahead of the visit, Lavrov said the UN Security Council was too “hasty” in bringing the resolution to a vote and described Western condemnation of Moscow’s veto as “hysterical.” Russia is one of Syria’s main arms suppliers.

War crimes: Child protesters gesture in the street in Adlb, Syria. Soldiers are said to have decapitated a seven-month-old boy during a brutal crackdown on unrest in the country. (File photo from Reuters) A soldier from the Syrian army’s 11th Armoured Division claimed his commanding officer snatched the child from the living room when they found the man they were looking for was out. The officer then apparently laid the child on the floor, pulled out his army knife and decapitated the little boy in front of his horrified mother. He then hung the child’s head above the front door and screamed that he would do the same to another child unless the man gave up, The Sunday Times reported.

Choices for defecting Syrian soldiers. Members of the Free Syrian Army at a safehouse on northern Lebanon's border with Syria. Mass uprisings against oppressive governments put the regime’s soldiers in a precarious situation. When ordered to repress the rebelling populace, they can obey those orders to apply military action against largely peaceful demonstrators, wounding and killing many, as has been happening in Syria for months.
The soldiers are then clearly tools of oppression and betrayers of their freedom-seeking countrymen. Many soldiers with a deep sense of honor and love of their country or religion will decide they can no longer do that. On occasion, some brave soldiers have both disobeyed and survived. Some defecting soldiers have turned their weapons against their former fellow soldiers, perhaps believing that is the most powerful action they can take against the oppressing regime. As happened in Libya, an appeal for foreign military assistance can then be expected. The foreign military aid may or may not come.

"We believe that the suffering of the Syrian people should come to an end. Today, there is one last day and a new chance left for Syria to take necessary steps as soon as possible," Davutoglu said.
