Security Council rebukes Syria as tanks settle in central Hama

Syria’s government is attempting to crush the democratic uprising, sending tanks, armored vehicles and snipers into the rebellious city of Hama for the fourth straight day of Ramadan. Unverified footage  taken from YouTube and obtained by The New York Times  depicts  tanks shooting at civilians. Human rights groups say more than 140 people have been killed since Sunday, compounding a civilian death toll of more than 1,600 since March. The United Nations Security Council condemned the crackdown,  but is the international condemnation too slow?   Joshua Landis, director of the Center for Middle East Studies at the University of Oklahoma and author of the daily email newsletter Syria Comment talks about what comes next for the Syrian government and the challenges the opposition faces.
