How should Syrian President Bashar al-Assad be held accountable for the human rights violations and atrocities committed by his regime?

That would be nice.

But, for whatever reason the ICC has seemed largely disinterested in the alleged human right violations committed under the direction of Assad during the 13 year Syrian civil war. They also seem similarly disinterested in the similarly lengthy (and similarly filled with atrocities) Yemeni civil war.

It seems that the only conflict which interests them in the Middle East is Gaza and only Gaza. It’s not clear why.

Why wasn't Queen as successful in America as in other countries? Then, after Radio Ga Ga, they couldn't even get into the top 40 in America even when these songs were top 10 hits everywhere else in the world.
