Hazem Chehabi and wife receiving UC Irvine Medal
Cloudminder and Community Radio Northern Colorado have a recent post on the latest at UC Irvine, where the student government passed a resolution asking for the removal of Hazem Chehabi from the UCI Foundation. Chehabi is the Syrian honorary council for Orange County.

Does anything connected with the events in Syria make sense?
As this dictator, Bashar Assad, massacres his own people by the thousands, the UN cannot even pass a resolution, Arab nations send observers who can only stand by and witness the slaughter, the world's activists concentrate their attention and condemnation on Israel, which is the only democracy in the region, President Obama's faith adviser, Dalia Mogahed, condemns Assad because he is "not delivering resistance to Israel, and the Syrian honorary consul in Orange County sits as chair of the UC Irvine Foundation.
Go figure.
The UN can't get a resolution passed because Russia and China have vetoes in the Security Council. They refrained from casting vetoes on Libya, but have more at stake in Syria. Pure self-interest.
