Men chant slogans during an anti-Syrian regime protest in front of the Chinese embassy in Tripoli, Libya, Monday, Feb. 6, 2012. Russia and China have vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution aimed at ending Syria's bloodshed, despite international outrage over a devastating bombardment of the city of Homs by President Bashar Assad's forces.
