Here we go again...

Syrian troops opened fire on protesters in many Syrian cities today. As many as 30 demonstrates were killed, witnesses say. This violence came as tens of thousand of Syrian took to the streets shouting "Freedom! Freedom!" in some of the most widespread unrest the country has seen in decades. Security forces got rid of the crowds by beating them with batons, said one of the activists. Riots were worse in Damascus, where 20 out of the 30 were killed. Will foreign intervention be necessary here too?
