Our new friend Bashar


Reuters photo (by Alaa Al-Faqir) of an unexploded cluster bomb in a town in Deera province after Syrian government airstrikes. Many countries have signed the convention adopted after a conference in Dublin in 2008 to stop using cluster munitions, but not Russia or Syria. Incidentally, the same Reuters story reports that even the principals think that the Kerry-Lavrov Pact is more likely than not to collapse.
