Troops storm Syria town

Syrian troops and pro-regime militias stormed and torched a southern town on Saturday, reports said, as UN observers visited a village where a mass killing has provoked global condemnation.

A picture from the Syrian opposition's Shaam News Network is said to show an anti-Syrian regime demonstration in Binnish, near Idlib on Friday.

Hundreds of soldiers backed by helicopter gunships attacked Khirbet Ghazaleh in the province of Daraa -- the cradle of a 16-month uprising -- amid heavy gunfire, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

    "Britain, France, the United States, Germany and Portugal have proposed a resolution that would give Assad 10 days to stop the use of heavy weapons, in line with the Annan plan, or face sanctions."

    Sanctions won't force the Syrian regime to back down, as Syria ( al-Assad's government ) will get all the support they need from Iran, Russia, and China. Meanwhile, thousands more civilians will continue to die as the world looks on, wringing their hands, and making more condemnations.
