And if you peruse recent headlines, you'll see the same old Western insistence that things won't change until Assad is gone. They've blatantly said sanctions will continue until then.

And now they're going after the first lady, a woman who is well-liked on the ground in Syria for dedicating her work to helping the country's poorest through development and microfinance projects.

The West would have us believe she has "incited and encouraged terrorist acts," a claim, emanating from the UK (which most definitely incited and encouraged terrorism), that would be laughable were it not so revolting.

Russia has called this "psychological pressure on the eve of the presidential election."

A look at the legal entity behind the absurd allegations reveals this isn't the first time they've attempted a legal attack against the Syrian government.

To adequately write about the past ten years of war on Syria would take volumes. For the sake of brevity: it need never have happened, nor the deaths and destruction accompanying it.

This was a premeditated and cruel war on the people of Syria, spurned forth by the media who truly do not care about the lives of Syrians.

To quote Father Daniel: "The media can either contribute to the massacre of the Syrian people or help the Syrian people, with their media coverage. Unfortunately, there are too many followers and cowards among journalists."
