Please do not stand by and let Bashar Al-Assad Kill the people of Syria for merely trying to voice their request for Democracy, as many countries have done successfully.
By signing this petition you are urging the Congress and President Obama to intervene, and to do the best they can to stop Bashar Al-Assad from killing civilians in Syria. Medical Aid is requested, as is media coverage in Syria. Al-Assad will massacre the masses if we remain silent.
After Cambodia, Rwanda, et al I find it outrageous that the international community is letting another genocide happen. There are a thousand reasons not to get involved: the singular fact of their humanity is the overwhelming reason to get involved. And that they want what the US feels is needed for human development imparts an obligation on the US to support them.
Syrians are human beings who have a right to exist and I refuse to believe that my life is somehow intrinsically more valuable just because I happened to be born in America. We have to do something because we can do something, and we may be the only people who can. If we truly believe in half of the ideals we claim to, then we have a responsibility to prove it.
