Tanks in Syria

on Wednesday video footage of military tanks in the city of Homs was released that showed mounted machine guns firing on civilians. These civilians are opposition to the government and it is reported that at least 3000 people have been killed since demonstrations have started

This show of military force by the government to suppress demonstrators not new in history but it is something that many feel ought to be a thing of the past. Many people in different countries have begun standing up against what they feel to be oppressive or inequality in their governments and this trend is a positive direction for the world and will lead to more and better functioning democracies that can help to stabilize the world.
