US President Barack Obama has condemned the Syrian authorities crackdown on protesters on Sunday, which activists say has left more than 130 dead.

Mr Obama said he was appalled by the government's use of brutality against its own people and promised to work to isolate President Bashar al-Assad.

Security forces killed dozens in the city of Hama, the hardest-hit area.

The government said troops were sent to Hama to remove barricades erected by the protesters.

7. You're damned if you do, you're damned if you don't.

Launch some cruise missiles to save the town of 300,000 people Quaddafi has ordered exterminated, and you're a warmongering imperialist.

Stand back and condemn, and you're a spineless weakling.

Sigh.

3. Hey Barack.. what about the "Brutality" of drone Bombs on Women and children?

What about dropping drone bombs on innocent women and children in Pakistan and Lybia?

What about torture at Gitmo.. Oh.. I guess that is not brutal enough for you to condem.
