why is no one asking what motive would pro-assad folks have, what leverage would they gain by slaughtering woman and children? as far as i can see.. none. especially at this point in time. it's suicidal.. so im leaning more toward western backed islamists... anyone know the ethnicity of these dead woman and children?
