How can the United Nations' Sec. Counc. distinguish between protestors' blood from one country to another's?

They voted not to object – or intervene – in Syria, where Assad is mowing the protestors down on the streets: but in Libya, war rages on against the (dictator – my term) Kaddafi.

Syria, part of what the US has defined the “evil axis” – and part of the harborers of terrorist factions like Hammas and Hizbullah which have representatives (and offices in their capital, Damascus), has been consistantly shooting at and killing hundreds of protestors.

No wonder, Assad is part of atiny ruling minority faction. When caught, he will be executed a la Saddam. Hosni Mubarak of Egypt will only be jailed for life – but Assad will be exterminated – so he’s fighting with everything he has. The Un sits quietly.

Why is Syria’s killing of people in the streets – peacefully protesting, okay – and Libya’s isn’t?
