Pro Democracy Rally in Syria on 9-2-11 - Homs , Bab Hood (bab hud)
The people are chanting "Death over Humiliation" and "We have Nobody Left but God" as an expression of how alone and abandoned by the world they feel since Assad has been killing them for 6 months on a daily basis and no international intervention has been forthcoming
The signs in arabic and english call for a "no fly zone" and for "international intervention" and for the Syrian Opposition to set up a "Transitional National Council" like they have in Libya.

@zerobox94 well there was not a clear alternative to gadaffi...I don't think the west should get in the business of propping up leaders anymore. That doesn't mean the west shouldn't intervene when tyranical dictators start slaughtering their people. But when that dictator is gone, all we should do is help provide the environment for the people to sort out forming their new government themselves in a peaceful manner. Revolutions are never followed by immediate stability, this is just natural.

The West can't do anything until there is a clear alternative to Assad! When there is, there might be hope then.
