I second Lucette. And add that I see this as significant as that young boy who was tortured a few months ago. Many informed people had said that the beginning of the end will be when members of the "ruling class" begin to desert the regime. And here have, to my knowledge, our first deserting member.

Further, I have experienced much suffering in my life, and I don't like the experience. And have personally observed a lot of killing, and I don't like that either. But history repeatedly reveals that much suffering and killing occurs in the process of eliminating evil forces. And so the events in Syria are unfortunate, but I believe are part of moving that country toward the probably not to far from now elimination of its current dictatorship, and for the first time in its history a genuine freedom in Syria. I look forward to seeing how Assad, handles the experience of being in the dock at the Hague.
