Many cartoons portrayed the bloodshed and massacre of Syrian civilians, while others depicted the weakening stance of the regime in the face of the protestors' demands for reform. Other cartoons reflected the regime's evasion of a diplomatic solution to the crisis, while yet others reflected the general stalemate that currently prevails in Syria.
