High ResolutionRussia, China veto U.N. resolution telling Assad to quit
Russia and China vetoed on Saturday an Arab- and Western-backed resolution at the U.N. Security Council calling for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to step down over his bloody crackdown on a popular uprising.
The setback in diplomatic efforts to defuse the revolt peacefully came after world leaders and Syrian opposition activists accused Assad’s forces of killing hundreds of people in a bombardment of the city of Homs, the bloodiest night in 11 months of upheaval in the pivotal Arab country.
It’s still controversial, it seems, to insist that leaders who murder their citizens by the hundreds should step down … especially when some of those who are voting on the matter might want to preserve the option of murdering citizens for themselves.
