ANOTHER REAL BAD SIGN FOR ASSAD.

As I start this post tonight, there is news of yet another massacre in Homs!

The finger pointing has already started, but the court of public opinion will come down on Assad, rest assured.

Ok, back to my real discussion tonight.

The attached article speaks to an issue most of us have agreed on would be a reliable sign Assad's support was in real trouble.

It's been known from the beginning the business class, Sunni, members of the capital  has been the major factor in Assad holding on.

The idea of the people who have the most to lose, business and trade, have feared what would come after Assad more than what Assad was doing.

Looking at pictures of virtually piles of dead children and knowing you are backing the person who followers conducted this act, is more than most of the " businessmen" can stand.

Fear still rules the day, but anger and a even greater fear of Assad fall and being left behind labeled as a " supporter" is starting to take it's toll on the real Middle Class of Syria.

Damned if you do and Damned if you don't... that's where they stand and they know it.

As the article states, this closing of the stores is a major challenge to Assad's power.

Kicking down the doors and forcing the stores to open, will only help these fence sitters make up their minds.... Yep.. a real dumb move on Assad's part.

If this second massacre is true, and it looks as if it is, then these business class member of Syria may be pushed over the edge.

Russian and Iranian support is not going to make them open their doors and be seen as supporters of a government that stacks children like firewood.
