President of the United States: Barack Obama

Barack Obama: About 80,000 have already been killed, another 160,000 have disappeared presumed dead or rotting in his jails , and 5.8 million have been displaced 4.25 million internally and 1.6 million in Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Iraq and Egypt , according to The Star. The reasons for inaction are well-known and Syria proves that the president of the United States remains the most powerful person on Earth. Despite relentless domestic and international pressure to do something, Barack Obama has refused to budge in his resolve not to get overtly involved. Absent America, there can be no humanitarian military intervention like the U.S.-led ones in 1995 and 1999 against Yugoslavia to save the Bosnians and Kosovars. Syrians will continue to be slaughtered by Bashar Assad. There is little or no prospect of the UN or anyone else invoking the Canadian doctrine of Responsibility to Protect. There are only desperate appeals for funds to manage the escalating humanitarian crisis . (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
