First, there's a bunch of references and quotes from various opposition sources, and nothing from the pro-government side. It's not as if there aren't plenty of pro-government sources to quote.

"growing international pressure to stop a bloody crackdown on dissidents seeking his ouster and democratic elections..."

LOL!

"Peres said he hoped the Security Council would "take the proper vote" and pass the resolution.""

""When I see people being murdered in broad daylight, in the middle of the street -- it's a human tragedy. And I pay my respect to the Arab League that has decided to intervene and to stop this bloodshed," he said. "I'm speaking as a human being, not as an Israeli.""

That's rich!

"Rights group Amnesty International urged Russia on Wednesday to rethink its opposition to the latest draft."

So AI is into regime change industry?

More quotes from the opposition, and only one sentence from Syria's UN ambassador. Pathetic...
