Syrian refugee and dissident "Ahmed" describes his life now that he has fled Syrian for Turkey. Ahmed, speaking in English and Arabic (with a US caller translating) describes the fear that he and thousands of other Syrian refugees face having fled from Syrian oppression under Dictator Bashar al-Assad. He questions why Iraq is supporting Syria and giving the Syrian dictatorship support and why Americans, who lost so many lives in iraq, are doing nothing to support the Syrian people. He asks why the US intervened to overthrow Moammar Gadhafi and stepped in when it was clear that Husni Mubarak was to be overthrown, but they have not done anything in Syria?
