Steven Heydemann issues commands to the world

"A preemptive move by the U.N. General Assembly, in the form of a resolution denouncing the election, rejecting the outcome as illegitimate, and insisting on a negotiated settlement of the conflict under the terms of the U.N. Geneva Protocol of June 2012, would be a small but important step in this direction....
The United States, the U.N., and the more than 100 governments that constitute the Friends of Syria Group (FOS), an alliance of governments opposed to Assad's continued rule, should take steps....
The United States and other FOS governments, which include Egypt, France, Germany, Italy, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, and Britain, can implement policies...."  Heydemann did not indicate if he wanted fries with his orders.

PS These are people I have known for years, and yet I wonder: how come I have never noticed in all those years how much Heyemann and other such Western experts on Syria love the Syrian people? How come it never showed before?
