(Reuters) - Thirty years ago Hafez al-Assad
cut phone lines from Hama to stop word spreading of his bloody crackdown on an
uprising in the city, ensuring that the 1982 Syrian revolt was crushed and many
thousands killed before the world even knew of it.
Three decades
on, his son is 18 months into a military campaign waged, despite efforts at
censorship, in the glare of a global media spotlight; but Bashar too can rely
on Cold War-era divisions among major powers, and a growing sense of impotence
and indifference, to shield him from armed foreign intervention.
…
More than 1,000
people are now being killed in Syria every
week, according to activists who collate reports from various sources. Some are
rebels, some loyalists; many are civilians.
..

where the United State
"They have
effectively said: 'We won't intervene unless you use chemical weapons',"
Barnes-Dacey said. "Assad has felt liberated to use more violence.
"There has
been a surge in government brutality and government-led violence and that
hasn't provoked any reaction."
