On Monday Syria’s Prime Minister was almost assassinated by a car bomb while visiting Mezze. The Prime Minister was not hurt because he was in a few buildings down but it was close to his convoy and one of his body guards did unfortunately pass away in the car bomb explosion. This has not been the first attack on higher government in Syria; there was an attack at gunpoint on the higher chief of coordinator of emergency aid distribution to civilians who was killed. Is this a coincidence or are the people of Syria really getting sick of their government so much that they are willing to assassinate many or all of the higher government until they find someone they want to run their country.
When I read this article I was surprised to hear that there was an attempt to kill the Prime Minister only a week after they had killed another high government official. I think that Syria needs to start worrying about their own country before going and starting war with another. Obviously the people of Syria are not too enthused by their government otherwise they would not be trying to assassinate so many of them. It is not normal two hear of two attempts of assassination over the span of a few weeks, one of them being successful. Maybe it was one person, if they haven’t caught the person who killed the chief coordinator but maybe they should be keeping a better eye on the civilians then. They should not be worrying about war with other countries or bombing other countries when they cannot event control their own country or the people in their country. I think this shows a huge missing piece in the government and law in Syria. It sounds like the people aren’t satisfied so maybe they should be worrying about that then then the other people around them. (316)
