Photo by European Pressphoto Agency The unspeakable scenes we witnessed in Aleppo -- the massacre of women, children, doctors and other innocents -- broadcast to us almost live by the civilians trapped in the siege will go down in history along with Darfur, Srebrenica or Rwanda as major stains on the moral conscience of the world. We cannot say we didn't know, we cannot say we didn't see it.

Security Council is paralyzed by the Russian and Chinese veto and the European Union and the United States have been conspicuously silent about the main enabler on the ground: the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Shiite milit
