The Syrian regime continues to brutally crush the growing protest movement within the country while maintaining its support for terrorist groups. The Assad regime also is stonewalling international efforts to investigate its illicit nuclear program.
Syria must stop committing human rights abuses. The Assad regime has killed more than 40,000 people protesting his autocratic rule. It is time for Assad to heed President Obama's call and give up power.
Syria supports terrorism. Syria is a U.S.-designated state sponsor of terror. It allows Iran to deliver advanced weaponry to Hizballah in Lebanon through Syria, while both Hizballah and Hamas have their headquarters in Damascus.
Syria must open up about its nuclear program. Syria has repeatedly blocked International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors from investigating its suspected illicit nuclear program.
