The Syrian official news agency is playing this one up for all its worth, adding several grizzly photos to the story about the death of the "martyrs."
But let's be honest. This was a terrorist attack. SANA did not mention in its release that the location of the bombings is near the Baath Party HQ and the Russian Embassy. But the people killed were mostly, if not exclusively, Syrian civilians passing by those building.
This reality highlights the difficult choices Obama faces. Assad is a butcher. But should the US pursue a policy that might place these bombers in control of Syria? Anyone who knows me knows that I am not an Obamamaniac. But I can't fault him for hesitation regarding Syria.
If I was president I don't know what I'd do. And I wouldn't have much faith in my "experts" who were so wrong about Egypt, Libya, and now it looks like Tunisia, too. Probably, a good idea would be to gather the nation's top ten academic Syrian experts, ask them what to do, and then do the exact opposite.
