Homs—bad luck city. Papa Assad killed something like 30,000; now the rebels run through it, and then Baby Assad recaptures it—an unhappy sequence to live through.

Actually, that was Hama. Homs is my mother's hometown, and has a large Christian population.

The “rebels” are far more vicious. Let’s not forget they were the ones overrunning Christian villages, then raped and beheaded small children. Granted, the Assad regime is no doubt thuggish, but the Obama-supported al-Qaeda terrorists are far, far worse. So yes... this is indeed a good thing, and those jihadi apes should be rounded up and their own heads should be set upon pikes on the road to Damascus.
