How can the world sit idle as the Syrian government, aided by Russia and Iran, brutalizes the people of Aleppo? On my first day, I saw a young mother newly paralyzed when a barrel bomb landed on her home. Aleppo has been pummeled with barrel bombs, chlorine gas bombs, cluster bombs, bunker-busting missiles and even napalm. In their inaction, they have essentially green-lighted the war crimes of the Syrian government and its allies. Experts who have never set foot inside Syria say nothing can be done.
