""Come out, you donkey!" the Syrian rebel shouts in Arabic in the amateur video that appeared on the Internet in mid-October. Two other rebels are pulling something out of a pile of rubble. The outline of a human body appears from beneath dust and bricks.

The scene resembles something out of a movie—the aftermath of an entire building collapsing on the people inside. Only this is real. Twelve pro-regime fighters reportedly died in the destruction of this structure north of Aleppo in war-ravaged northern Syria…"

Given accusations of some military officers in Turkey being forced into retirement or even arrested, I suspect they're soon going to join the "garbage pile."

Totally agree. Better they kill each other than they try to kill us!

Saw on CNN today, in Iran, a woman was hung for killing the man that was trying to rape her. I'm sure there is a back story. But based on how most moslem countries follow the Koran/Shria law.
