  1. The struggle for Syria

    My cousin, Ramez, was dead before the echoes of the gunshot that killed him stopped ringing. His 4-year-old daughter, Zeynab, watched him fall on a narrow street in Damascus, but she never heard the shot because she is deaf. She held onto his lifeless hand until a second bullet tore into her chest. She survived.

  5. Today's Buzz: Should U.S. arm Syrian rebels?

    Pressure is building among some members of Congress for the U.S. to aid rebels battling the government of Syria’s Bashar al-Assad. While no members are calling for sending U.S. troops to Syria, some advocate arming the rebel factions that are friendliest to the U.S., and some also recommend establishing a U.S.-military protected safe zone for rebels. Has the Obama administration made a mistake by not getting involved? Israel has now bombed Syria twice; should the U.S. fear a wider, regional war? Would U.S. intervention change the outcome of the conflict, or is it too late? Are you confident that U.S. arms wouldn’t escalate to U.S. troops? Talk about it!
