Forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad shelled the battered Syrian city of Homs on Saturday, killing one person, opposition activists said, in the first such shelling since a ceasefire began two days ago.
The United Nations Security Council is tentatively scheduled to vote on a Western-Arab draft resolution authorizing an advance U.N. team to monitor the fragile ceasefire which aims to end 13 months of bloodshed during the uprising against Assad.
Now, I'll grant that I'm no English major, but is something that isn't there really "fragile?" Isn't shelling a city a little more than an "oopsy" that doesn't really count?
I guess we've reached Gaza levels of silliness when a "ceasefire" is deemed to hold if Israel doesn't shoot at all and Palestinian terrorists only fire a few rockets every couple days at Israeli civilians.
