from my local, hometown newspaper:

MURFREESBORO — Louai Faour said he’s not sure how many family members and friends he has lost since the conflict began in Syria.

His list is long.

An aunt and uncle were killed while hiding in their home. Multiple cousins have been killed in houses, on streets and while attending funerals.

...

Even more have been injured, Faour said, including the family member he said he is closest to — his sister.

Rema Faour was caring for one of his wounded cousins in Damascus, Louai Faour said, when Bashar Assad’s military launched the largest offensive with rockets since the uprising began two-and-a-half years ago.

I said earlier that you can be anti-intervention or pro-intervention. There are good people in Syria who support the government and there are good people who support the rebels. It's a complicated and most likely, intractable situation.

But your insistence on framing every voice that opposes the Assad government and supports outside military intervention against it as "fucking war propaganda" and associating them with "cold-blooded war killers" who are only interested in supporting "al Qaeda in Syria and Iraq" is dead wrong.
