WARSAW, Poland — Poland's diplomats are working to get wounded Western journalists evacuated from the Syrian city of Homs and the bodies of a U.S. journalist and a French photographer out of the country, the Foreign Ministry said Monday.
Also Monday, French President Nicolas Sarkozy said he believes the two killed journalists were "assassinated" and that Syria's President Bashar Assad "must go."
Earlier this month, Poland's Embassy in Damascus took charge of representing U.S. interests in Syria, after Washington closed its mission there as a sanction against the escalating violence....
Assad's forces are going door to door without discrimination and assassinating people. These forces up to now have been protesters without arms to defend themselves or culminate in an assault against Assad's troops. This is slaughter. There are no arrests, but, only killings.

...U.N. political chief Lynn Pascoe said Tuesday he has "credible reports" from Syria of more than 100 civilians being killed every day, "including many women and children."
"The international commission of inquiry for Syria, in a report issued 22 February, concluded that the Syrian government forces have committed widespread systematic and gross human rights violation amounting to crimes against humanity with the apparent knowledge and consent of the highest levels of the state," said Pascoe. "I commend this report to each of the members of this council. It does not make easy reading, but its implications for our responsibility are clear."...
He has no reason to stop, with every death there is more incentive to continue his slaughtering. It is sort of like watching Hilter on digital. If we knew then what we knew now, I am sure the Jewish race would be more intact.
Actually, Hitler had more discrimination in removing the Jews to remote camps for gassing. Yeah, in all reality, Hitler was more covert than Assad. In all honesty.
