Aleppo is burning

Over five decades the world has turned a bling eye to crimes committed by the Assad regime.
Hafez Al Assad perpetrated the massacre of Hama, invaded Lebanon using political assassination as a tool of governance.
Bashar Assad is today annihilating Syria and its people using barrel bombing civilians and chemical weapons.
The UN is dithering, Obama is leading from behind, Putin is "fighting terrorism", and the EU is burying its head in the sand.
A sorry and shameful sight.


Then the US and Russia meet to take action, the result

Regime aircraft have been pounding rebel areas of Syria's second city Aleppo, which was left out of a deal to 'freeze' fighting despite international outrage over renewed violence.

When will this hypocrisy stop!
Aleppo is left out. It just gives the Assad regime together with Putin and Iran represented by Hezbollah freedom to concentrate their forces to pound civilians in Aleppo punishing them for being the city that rebelled against the oppressive Assad regime seeking and dreaming of freedom.
Is this leading from behind Mr. Obama, or just being too weak to back your own nominal position of being opposed to the crimes of the Assad regime?

If there is another reason, please explain it, maybe the massacred people could understand why they do not deserve the empathy of a country that identifies itself with upholding human right and whose AID programs aim to support freedom and democracy around the world!
