Uneven Isolation!<http://syrianrevolutiondigest.blogspot.com/2011/11/uneven-isolation.html> *The Assads are not the only ones facing isolation. The protesters are being isolated as well and in that splendid isolation imposed on all, they are left to fend for themselves against a killing machine that remains well-oiled and well-committed to the task at hand.* *Tuesday 15, 2011 * *16 people* including 2 children were killed in the ongoing crackdown by pro-Assad militias, including 6 in Idlib City, 5 in Homs City, 3 in Hama Province and 2 in Deraa/Hauran Province. Moreover, clashes between loyalists and defectors near the town of *Kafroumah* in Idlib Province left 14 loyalists dead. 5 more looyalists were killed in clashes near Harrah Town in Deraa/Hauran Province. In the city of Homs, 19 unidentified bodies were found in the streets by locals, the bodies are believed to belong to people who were kidnapped and killed by pro-Assad militias. Clashes were also reported in *Rastan* and in a number of Damascene suburbs, including * Harasta* and *Daraya* where local security branches seem to have been targeted. Meanwhile, and in the hope of averting confirmation of the countrys suspension from the Arab League, Syrian authorities *released* 1180 detainees, including the well-known activist Kamal Al-Labwani, jailed more than 6 years ago, following a visit to the United States in which he met with American officials and called for increased diplomatic pressures on the Assads over their human rights record. *Links* *Syria Game Change*<http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204323904577038193266089440.html?mod=googlenews_wsj> ** *Syria's Homs Pays Heavy Price in Uprising*<http://www.voanews.com/english/news/middle-east/Syrias-Homs-Pays-Heavy-Price-in-Uprising-133886708.html> ** *Syria crisis: Erdogan steps up Turkey pressure on Assad*<http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-15745199'> ** *Turkey-Syria relations reach new lows after embassy attacks*<http://turkey.setimes.com/en_GB/articles/ses/articles/features/departments/national/2011/11/15/feature-01> ** Ammar Abdulhamid, a US-based Syrian poet and activist who runs the Tharwa Foundation, says "The Turkish government is now forced to make hard choices." "Neutrality is not a viable option here, and the question now confronting Mr. Erdogan and his advisers regarding Syria deals with the extent of their potential involvement in managing the looming transition there," he told SES Turkiye. "This calls for a greater engagement with opposition groups, and not only the SNC, but also greater logistical and material support to the Syrian Free Army," he said. The Assads are not the only ones facing isolation. The protesters are being isolated as well and in that splendid isolation imposed on all, they are left to fend for themselves against a killing machine that remains well-oiled and well-committed to the task at hand.* Moreover, the Assads have their supporters in the international community, even in isolation. The protesters have none. The Assads keep getting arms, the protesters keep getting words. Impunity on the hand, frustration on the other, add a dash of rebellious hope, and, voilà, a civil war unfolds. * *Funerals took place in protest communities throughout Syria** **HOMS PROVINCE*:
